Within hours of learning that David Lee Roth would replace Howard Stern when the "King of All Media" moves to SIRIUS Satellite Radio, Nick Sylvester of The Village Voice "uncovered" this open letter from David Lee Roth to the staff of the Howard Stern Radio Show:

"By now you've heard that I, David Lee Roth, have been appointed Howard Stern's successor for the Howard Stern Radio Show. Maybe some of you read about it in the papers; others of you may have just seen me renovating Stern's office, replacing his furniture with six Marshall stack amps I like to call my "musical desk," and his iMac with a collection of vintage guitars I plan on assembling into the shape of the internet... You have nothing to worry about with me, and things aren't going to change at all. I may not be the King of All Media, but I am the King of Allmusic. Take a look at that website and type in "David Lee Roth"--yeah that's right, I've influenced over ten different bands.

And after several hours of discussing this with some EMT friends of mine, I've even decided to keep calling the show the "Howard Stern Radio Show." I know that sounds incredibly modest, especially after considering several fantastic suggestions, including " The Howard Stern Radio Show presented by David Lee Roth," the "David Lee Rothio Show," and my personal favorite, "Diamond Dave's Diamondz..."
