I was tempted to start a “Jobs after they are famous” thread, but that’s been done. So I have no other reason to link this story other than the amazing fact that Dave Lee Roth – singer on the best rock debut ever apparently, it must be true I read it somewhere authoritative -is also a qualified and active New York paramedic. Sod any charity work, DLR is actually getting his hands dirty (probably literally sometimes) and doing something practical for his community. Props to him.
Also interesting to see that the (forgotten?) original winner of Fame Academy has a successful songwriting career.
That’s all folks.

Alias and I have already chatted about the Cerys Matthews interview. She gets to meet two of the great giants of Brazilian music who must have some amazing stories to tell and she asks them about their favourite snacks!!
But OK, she did mention Ladbroke Grove and Gilberto’s accordion playing.
Here’s GG in his early days.
