David Lee Roth was a horrible morning DJ, but you could'nt help feeling bad for him. I personally sat through several hours worth of listening in the car just because I was worried that nobody else out there was tuning in. The experince was not unlike going to the dentist or, dare I say, the DMV. It was depressing to think that the former lead singer of Van Halen had been reduced to doing hack radio where, at the very best, he could painstakingly relive his wild times as the man formerly known as "Diamond" as patrons tried not to drive their automobiles into ravines. It was, too putt it lightly, awkward. During the worst parts of the show, Roth would veer into the land of Scott and Todd in the Morning terroritory; with one standard radio gag after another. It was as if I had been transported back to the 80's and instead of waiting to here the cheesy DJ play a Van Halen tune, the cheesy DJ WAS Van Halen (One could get into an argument here about who was the most important member of Van Halen- Roth or Eddie- but I'm not going to do that. Okay, I will. It was the bass player. Gimme Michael Anthony's one note bass lines any day of the week, and twice on sunday).

So now it seems the run is over, as Roth's parent company CBS Broadcasting, have, seemingly, made the move to replace him with "shock jocks" Opie and Anthony. You remember O & A right? When CBS was known as Infinity they fired the duo for airing the sexual noises of two youngers going at it. They fired them because these people were having sex in St. Peter's Cathedral. My mom had a serious problem with this stunt, and I'm sure alot of mothers out there felt the same way. I myself did not think it was such a big idea, but I am a villanous heathen and should not comment on matters of such social importance.
