David Lee Roth has changed his name.

The former Van Halen front man now wants to be called “David L. Roth” or “El Roth.”

All sailors are henceforth forbidden to use “lee wind” and “leeward.”

The feminization of everything continues apace. Maybe he should change the L. to Linda or Laura or Lurlene. He should definitely add “Feelings” to his repertoire.

I was born in a US Army hospital in the Panama Canal Zone, so not only is the name gone but it is no longer US territory.

Oooh. I recall a scene from the movie when Sandler told his ex not to wear a VH T-shirt because her vibes would curse the band.

He’s changing his name and going on the road with the ex-lead singer from Styx.

Look for DeYoung and DeBeautiful on tour in 2021.

It was tongue in cheek. Couldn’t help myself and searched around...it’s Dave being crazy Dave to make a statement. He said “El Roth” has a nice ring to it, but you could also just call me Champ. LOL. Yah, he is stirring the pot for fun.

You should hang your head in shame. Or go outside for your confession and your public shaming.

I sense it is sarcasm. He has a history for such things.

Could have just changed it to the girl version of Lee which is Lea. Would have been about the same effect.

I have never read about his political beliefs and as we know liberals generally are not shy with such matters. he could be liberal. I do recall reading an interview once where he was pro-gun and said something about “the heavier the better” or something similar.
