David Lee Roth: Wins Battle, Loses Job
This just in: David Lee Roth, still celebrating his victory in our Van Halen Vs. Van Hagar Blog Battle, has been booted off the radio.
Originally considered to be Howard Stern's replacement in select radio markets, DLR was reportedly bought out by CBS Radio.
Here's a link to the story.
Anybody out there ever check out Roth's radio show? I hear it was an unlistenable abomination. Would love to hear some reports from the listening masses.
Also, I'm hearing mixed report's about Stern's Sirius show. Anybody listening to Howard these days? When I lived in D.C., he was an important part of my morning ritual. Take my daughter to daycare, visit a fast-food establishment for something sausagey, then listen to Stern for a good hour or two. I miss that guy.
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
Maybe this will pave the way for DLR to rejoin Van Halen, once Eddie checks into/out from rehab. Stern on Sirius is pretty lame, especially since the novelty of hearing him (or, more accurately, Artie) curse has worn off. At least it was until a girl called in this morning describing how she entertained a group of well-endowed former football players in a hotel room while her much-older husband watched.

Why did you include a picture of Jackie Mason in a blonde wig on this blog?
