THE DAY DAVID LEE ROTH BOUGHT REEFER

LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-APR 16, 2020…TODAY IS THE 27TH ANNIVERSARY OF DAVID LEE ROTH GETTING ARRESTED! IT WAS 1993 AND THE NYPD WAS DOING A SWEEP OF DRUG BUYERS AND PUSHERS IN WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK. ONE OF THE PEOPLE THEY ARRESTED TURNED OUT TO BE DAVID LEE ROTH, WHO WAS BUSTED AFTER SCORING SOME “JAMAICAN BUNK REEFER.” WHAT’S REALLY IRONIC ABOUT ROTH GETTING BUSTED WAS IN 1992 HE TOLD AN INTERVIEWER HE LEFT VAN HALEN BECAUSE HE FELT “DISGUST OVER BAND MEMBERS USING DRUGS.” HERE’S ROTH WITH VH FROM 1984
