Sorry SomeGuy:
Legendary Van Halen (search) frontman David Lee Roth (search) has stopped "runnin' with the devil" to do God's work -- riding ambulances in gritty neighborhoods throughout New York City to become a paramedic.
The famed rocker has cut his trademark blond mane and dropped his celebrity persona so he can ride unrecognized with ambulance crews in The Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn several nights a week.
Several weeks ago, the charismatic crooner saved the life of a Bronx woman who had a heart attack by shocking her back to life with a defibrillator.
The Post caught up with Roth last week as the 1980s icon grabbed a slice of pepperoni pizza after sitting for hours in an ambulance waiting for a call.
Just three days earlier, he had played to an adoring rock-'n'-roll crowd in Minnesota.
Roth, 49, initially expressed reservations about discussing his latest endeavor because he felt publicity "would diminish what I am trying to do here."
But the following day, he told The Post more about his new passion.
"I have been on over 200 individual rides now," Roth told The Post. "Not once has anyone recognized me, which is perfect for me."

I want to somehow get Sammy Hagar in NYC and endanger his life, then have Roth come and try to save him. I'd love to see what he does then. BTW Joey, can you please explain to me what this Howemilitary buiesness is? I'm dying to know...I've checked out the site, but I don't understand why you keep posting it. I'm sure a zany response will come from this and I expect no less. |
