    Jesus. It would actually be funny if taxpayers weren't being stuck with a ton of her legal costs and the time of attorneys, judges and the targets of her insanity weren't being wasted so.

    No doubt the woman is a whacko who's costing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a ton of money.
    But the moron who wrote this lead and the editor who let it go should be fired:

    Rock singer David Lee Roth has been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king, according to his 1986 hit "That's Life."

    I always thought some guy named Sinatra first recorded "That's Life" about 20 years earlier.

    She either needs a psychiatrist for meds or a psychologist for her persecution complex

    He did, but Roth did in fact bring it back to the charts in 1986. There's nothing wrong with the lead.

    Was that from the full-of-fail "Crazy from the Heat" album? ::)

    That was more of an EP than an album.

    I think "That's Life" was off of "Eat 'Em and Smile," which in turn spawned the VH album title "OU812."

    Who did you side with in the Roth - Van Halen split and why?

    Diamond Dave, all the way. Van Halen with Roth seemed to rock a whole lot harder than the Hagar version did. I don't thin Van Hagar did anything to equal VH 1, 1984 or the fantastic - and underrated - Fair Warning.
