The Roth Show

[twonabomber]

Like I said elsewhere this morning:

If something is happening (like the tour is back on) in March, then we should be hearing about it soon. We had tickets for shows in March this time last year.

I did hear that Fleetwood Mac tickets go on sale here Friday, for a June show, so maybe this week is out. They're touring April through the beginning of July...

OK, everyone can relax.... Directly from DDE....

I can't tell you what is coming in March but the sky is not falling and this is not a band related message.

Stay Frosty!

The Roth Show is not really a show! I'm disappointed. No car chases and/or crashes, no gun violence no horrible cliche writing and bad plots (with even worse acting) with bad camera angle sex scenes. I may have to get this Twitter horseshit and "twit" Roth to get his act together.

Maybe not so cryptic, but a clothing line he is launching?

Good Lord, NO! In his own words - Dave is a fashion emergency!

[Never was]

I agree NG , but reality has never been constraint for him trying different things.

[VAiN]

Suddenly not that interested if it isn't a band related thing.

Agreed, but at least Dave is reaching out to us. We've gotten more out of these guys in the last 12 months than we have in the last 12 years!

I'm still wondering about the possible "surprise in February" Ed started hinting at just before he took ill, and did the illness throw that off. Plus, their management is in a mild state of flux. Business as usual when you think about it. I'm sure their cooking something up for this year. Japan's on the docket (knock wood) right?

I can only hope this message means that Dave Roth will be competing against Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America, while kicking his smug little ass in the process. Christ, aside from that twerp Alton Brown and the much-too-loud and hog-like Anne Burrell, Flay has to be the most annoying person on the Food Network.

I hear you.....very very good point. It's just too bad the rest of them can't be as ambitious. After waiting 27 yrs for a new VH album, I just wish there wasn't so much Idle time in between tours or albums but that's the way it is.

It's not surprising, even now.... Even when VH was on top of the rock world in the early '80's, Ed would regularly tell anyone listening how he hated being a "rock star".....

Chef, I work right around the corner from his Mesa Grill restaurant on 5th Avenue. Do you want should I go press ham on the front window?

Nah, to tell ya the truth, after reading about Flay (and Emeril for that matter, who found work in his shops nationwide for his employees displaced by the hurricane that hit New Orleans a few years back) in Anthony Bourdain's books over the years, I've pretty much gotten to the point of accepting the smugness. Some of these celebrity chefs have pretty good sized empires to run, with dozens if not hundreds of employees dependent upon a cash flow that isn't always accommodated for by the restaurants alone. This is why you see these cheesy competitive cooking shows springing up week after week, as they serve to supplement the bottom line. And in order to do so, these chefs more often than not find themselves starring on tediously pointless shows and even resorting to hawking at times dubious cookware on the Home Shopping Channel or at various department stores.

So in that regard, I'm willing to give Bobby Flay a bit of a break. As for Anne Burrell, the less said the better. She singlehandedly does enough yacking, snorting, guffawing and perspiring for the entire website, let alone the tv audience.
