DLR quote?

[GreenBayLA]

Anyone remember reading/hearing Dave make this quip? I only recall the first part of the phrase and don't know the source. Googled it and someone has it this as their signature on writiers website:

A lot of people think life is a whirling cesspool of miserable, foreboding doom and despair...well at least I'm sailing a yacht through it, man - DLR

[GreenBayLA]

Nodody eh?

[sadaist]

Hmmm...Dave has had several quotes that had a yacht in the punchline. As they travel through the grapevine they get tweaked & altered here and there, so it's hard to really say. The fact that almost everything the guy says is some genius funny quotable phrase makes it hard to cherry pick just a few.

I don't remember exactly when he said it (1980 or 81 most likely) but I used to have it as my signature on this website.

Yachts? Girls? Whirlpools? Cessations? Stop and desist?

[GreenBayLA]

Cool thanks, I have been quoting the first part (Life is a whirling cesspool of miserable foreboding doom) and leaving it at that for years. I thought it was from a comedian but then again when Dave is ON he can be quite funny.

unless Suni's "This video has been removed by the user" showed otherwise, this is a tweaked quote.

It first starts appearing around 2005.

I thought it might have been from DLR book "Crazy From the Heat". However, the book has not been inputted into Google books reference to make it an easy reference.
If it was from there I am sure, one of you guys would pull the quote pretty quickly.

However, after my google search this is what I found.

http://www.rotharmy.com/quotes.shtml

There are 2 yacht quotes in the link above. I cannot date that page.

"People say that life is a cesspool of darkness and despair. Well we of Van Halen are sailing through it in a yacht!"

"Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it"

The first quote jogs my memory and I recall that very most likely the clip that Suni attempted to reference is the source of "People say that life is a cesspool of darkness and despair. Well we of Van Halen are sailing through it in a yacht!"

I found a reference to the "People say that life is a cesspool of darkness and despair. Well we of Van Halen are sailing through it in a yacht!"

I sourced the wikipage that is quoted from that page. On that page, it is still the 2 quotes.

Wiki quote of today have neither quote

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/David_Lee_Roth

If you can find a stable source of the video Suni posted, the quote "People say that life is a cesspool of darkness and despair. Well we of Van Halen are sailing through it in a yacht!" could be added. That is if my memory is correct on and that video is the "People say that life is a cesspool of darkness and despair. Well we of Van Halen are sailing through it in a yacht!" quote.



Generally during the data mine I found a person named hippie originated most quotes outside of wiki.

Oh sorry Blaze.... That must have been really recent...IE. the weekend. Let me suss it out.


Damn Blaze...the clip I linked had been there for over two years and was just snatched. It was a clip of Patrick Swazye and Dave at the Dave Fan Club meeting.... grr.
