The reviews are in, and they're not too good

Skeelo over at The Pursuit of Leisure has reprinted an article from today's National Post about how celebs tend to talk out of their ass. To no one's surprise, David Lee Roth, who has replaced Howard Stern after Stern went to satellite radio, is the latest celeb to do just that. See here:

The majority of Roth's show revolves around his monologues on political and social issues. At the core of Roth's problems is his lack of pedigree to credibly offer opinions on many of the weighty issues he wants to discuss. Roth wants listeners to buy into the belief that he is an intelligent, thoughtful social critic without making any effort to build up such a rapport with his audience. To most listeners, David Lee Roth is an increasingly irrelevant, aging rock star. America likely cares no more for his thoughts on President Bush's policies or legislative enactments than they would about Courtney Love's views on health care or Paris Hilton's thoughts on the amendments to the tax code.

Now don't get me wrong. I love Dave. The video for Van Halen's "Jump" was one of the coolest things ever. I remember when it was battling "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" for top spot on the charts on Toronto's 680 CFTR. I also think one of the most underrated rock albums of the 90s is his "A Lil Ain't Enough". Sue me for that. But he should stick to doing what he does best, which these days seems to be trying to score dope in Central Park in between Vegas gigs. The man is an embarassment. It's time to stop the bleeding, Dave. Just stop it.
