Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth, who is currently opening for KISS on their End Of The Road tour, spoke with Chris Riemenschneider of StarTribune about how at his age of 65, "everything's a farewell."

“I’ve never had any delusions about my voice. It sounds like four miles of flat road with knobby tires. Mom used to say that; in fact she said it last week.”

Roping his tourmates KISS into the age discussion, Roth said he’s happy to be able to tour at all. He also brought up a pediatric surgeon he worked for before his rock career took off, calling the veteran doctor a “40,000-hour man.”

“I’m a 40,000-hour man now, and I’m guessing the fellas in Kiss are 50,000-hour men now. With all those hours [of work experience] comes confidence, but also a good, healthy fear of what reality can really bring for you, consequently an intense appreciation of being able to do what we do for a living. I know a lot of people who hate what they do for a living.”
