Title: Crazy From the Heat July 10, 1997 - It looks more and more likely that fans of Van Halen and David Lee Roth will see their favourite artists in print before they hear their latest musical efforts. MTV News is reporting that Dave is preparing a media blitz to promote his autobiography and accompanying spoken-word album titled Crazy From The Heat, with his handlers approaching everyone from CNN's Larry King to David Letterman. Roth was in Florida during May recording the spoken word album under the supervision of friend Henry Rollins, who released his own highly acclaimed album last year. As for Dave's upcoming Greatest Hits album Yankee Best, according to MTV's sources at Warner Bros the album is unlikely to be released in the USA before the end of the year.
