David Lee Roth Can’t Drive 55 Either

Apparently, David Lee Roth has a nut allergy. During a traffic stop in Canada, DLR explained he was speeding because his life was in danger after a reaction to those dastardly nuts. An ambulance was called, and the police kept our boy alive until the medical authorities arrived to whisk him to the hospital. A more cynical person might speculate that the nut allergy was an elaborate hoax to try to evade a ticket, but not here. Basically, I’m just using the news story as an excuse to post the video for “Panama,” but Diamond Dave, if you’re reading, you and that dastardly nut allergy of yours are in my prayers. UPDATE: The story’s apparently false. But it’s still never the wrong time to post “Panama,” no? [Metal Hammer]
