Medic Rocks With Docs (David Lee Roth)
New York Post ^ | November 16, 2004 | Erika Martinez

November 16, 2004 -- Legendary Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth has stopped "runnin' with the devil" to do God's work - riding ambulances in gritty neighborhoods throughout the 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.

Even as a paramedic, he's a thousand times more entertaining than Sammy Hagar.

"Reissman described Roth as very studious, punctual and hungry for knowledge."

Hey, watch it!

Roth was better as VH's lead singer than Hagar, that's for sure.

However, Roth sucked as a solo artist and Sammy was pretty damn good.

Plus, Sammy's a conservative Republican, I dunno about Dave.

Sammy's a conservative Republican? I read concert reviews from this last tour where he criticized President Bush and the war on terrorism. David Lee is "da man."

The funny thing: CNBC was playing "Somebody Get Me a Doctor" as they broadcast the story. That made my day.

Sammy is a Republican donor.

They need to send him to provide emergency care for Van Halen, because right now, they're DOA. I'm afraid it's Dave or the grave for VH.

Can you imagine being in a car wreck only to come to with David Lee Roth standing over you.

So am I, and I’m a crappy singer too.

Now, when he was 25 and I was 15 I would have really, really liked that.

You'll know it's Dave coming when the ambulance is blaring "Somebody get me a doctor!" From a loudspeaker.

I just saw VH in Sept. and it was great. Sammy at least still has a voice but he needs to stick with making Tequila.
