CBS Sunday Morning - October 2020 "David Lee Roth's brush with art"

Dave’s disciplined artist side reminds me of my father who was definitely an eccentric in about every area of his life except for work—mechanical engineering. Oil painting, Gansai watercolor, Japanese gardening even his religious views. I think they would’ve gotten along well!
