        So Roth has been pushing the BlueGrass album after a failed radio show which came after a couple failed covers album.
        So the question is has the D Man jumped the shark?

                    Not quite.

                    The whole "mainstream-accepted"-to-"odd trait" transition is off the mark.

                    It's more the addition or development of an element that is drastically removed from the original spirit or vibe of whatever creative pursuit to which the phrase is being applied.

                    The addition/development usually occurs during a time when ideas and creativity have slowed down, and often appears indicative of desperation and grasping at ratings/sales.

                    It's also seen as a defining moment, signaling the end of the good days and the start of a period of general decline in quality.

                    For example, Fonzie jumping the shark was not adding an odd trait or quirky alternative/non-mainstream element. It was just a ridiculous scenario far from the original vibe of the series, made out of a desperate ploy for ratings, and the show is seen as sucking from that point on.

                        Accepting the above as a general definition of "jumping the shark," one could posit an argument that any one of Diamond Dave, the morning radio show, or Strummin'... represents a drastic move away from the original spirit of VH and DLR, a move made in a time of low sales, and as a desperate attempt at publicity and ratings.

                          And one could also argue the opposite.

                              maybe the better question is did DLR sell out a hard rock career for 5 min of TV time and yet another weak ass covers effort that no one will purchase.
                              My thoughts is he is trying to find that novelty hit like Just a Gigolo.

                              Isn't it time for DLR to stope reminding people he was in Van Halen and start reminding them why he was in Van Halen.

                                I don't really think he ever cuntsidered "it" to be a hard rock career. Just look @ how he ko-ree-o-graphed the rest of the band dancing in the "Panama" vid!!!

                                Billy Sheehan: "Dave's not a metalhead."

                                David Lee Roth: "I'm not a hard-rockin' fucker."

                                Michael Anthony: "Is he trying to entertain ME now?"

                                Laugh @ it, or movethefuckalong, dipshit.
