jaxson50 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Really? First he lost his voice, and now his mind Van Halen legend David Lee Roth announces he’s changed his name, The former Van Halen front man now wants to be called “David L. Roth” or “El Roth.” The change was inspired by the current movement in the music industry to disown words having to do with the slavery that existed in the South — which comes in response to the Black Lives Matter protests that rose up after the death of George Floyd. https://www.mercurynews.com/van-halen-legend-david-lee-roth-announces-hes-changed-his-name 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Apparently Lee Anderton (the Captain) is now changing his name to El Anderton. The whole shop applauded and no one took the pizz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 So let me get this straight. If someone does something really bad, then everybody else that has that persons name, must change it? Absolute craziness! We are going to be running out of names pretty quick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) I believe, at one time not in the too distant past, the middle names of many serial killers were either Ray or Lee or Wayne.

uncle fester Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) I loved Van Halen with David Lee Roth... can't name a song worth a damn from either of them since. I know VH has maintained a presence, but once they were off my radar - they never made it back. Apologies El Roth... doesn't that mean wanker in some language?
