Legendary Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth has stopped "runnin' with the devil" to do God's work - riding ambulances in gritty neighborhoods throughout the city to become a paramedic.
The famed rocker has cut his trademark blond mane and dropped his celebrity persona so he can ride unrecognized with ambulance crews in The Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn several nights a week. . .
Linda Reissman, Roth's EMS consultant and tutor, said she didn't know what to expect of her famous pupil at first, but "he has probably turned out to be one of the best students I have ever had."
I find this next quote interesting, since his self-centeredness is the reason he's no longer part of Van Halen:
The singer, who is used to being onstage in a packed arena, sees at least one similarity in his two careers.
"I am a member of a team again, and that's what a rock band always was," Roth said.
