Some people’s idolize great men like Martin Luther King or Abraham Lincoln. Me? I’ve always been partial to David Lee Roth. Unfortunately he’s become a raging fool over the past few years but — at one time in the dark and distant past — the man was a philosopher-King. Henceforth, the Atomic Punk:
“I am a victim of the science age
A child of the storm. Whoa, yes
I can’t remember when I was your age
For me! It says no more, no more
Nobody rules these streets at night but me
The Atomic Punk
Oh, yeah!”
Van Halen from Van Halen I (1977).

This reminds me of my two favorite David Lee Roth quotes. “Sincerity is the key to success, when you can fake that you’ve got it made” and “don’t drink and drive – do what I do, get girls that are too young to drink and let them drive”…

David Lee Roth when asked what he’d want to be reincarnated as “A ladies bicycle seat”.
