I admit that I never liked "Diamond Dave", because to me he was a prototypical rock star - careless and not very bright. But I listen to his radio show sometimes and he seems to be much better than horrible Howard Stern (although Dave said on occasion that Stern is his hero). Maybe it have something to do with age and the loss of hair, maybe there's another reason - but i can see the real him in that show, as opposed to Dave that was putting on rock star mask onstage during his stint with Van Halen (as in "How can you fire Van Halen from Van Halen?").
