Wasn’t me, says David Lee Roth after reports OPP had pulled him over
From Canwest News Service

Rock singer David Lee Roth is denying reports that he was saved by a pair of Ontario Provincial Police officers after having a severe allergic reaction while driving near Oakland, Ont., a story widely circulated by entertainment Web sites earlier this week. “I was in Canada only from July first through the fourth for a performance at the Quebec City Summer Festival. I had no encounters or incidents with the police. The only thing I’m allergic to is criticism,” the original lead singer of Van Halen said in a statement. The Internet reports said the singer was pulled over on May 23 about 45 kilometres southwest of Hamilton, after two OPP officers noticed him driving erratically, apparently due to a reaction to peanuts. The story had two officers preventing the singer from going into anaphylactic shock until an ambulance arrived. However, his publicist said Mr. Roth was on stage in New York city that night.

The story is barely noteworthy had it been the real DLR. Now it is just dragging out. While it is sort of funny, it is sad that this is the sort of news we have to grasp at during the tender time after the tour where we wait for the announcement of either a new album or the announcement that the band has dissolved again.

The best way to test this for sure is to get the real DLR to eat a peanut butter sandwich.

Kenny, you hit the nail right on the head. Every day I check the VHND expecting to see a story about how DLR and EVH came to blows and called the whole thing off, yet hopeing that is not the case.

It is pretty funny though. The fake Dave did all this stuff and no one caught on he was a fake. Did anyone see this guys picture, he has to be about 30 to 40 pounds heavier then Dave. These people must not read or get out much.
