My god, he was so good, so original, when that would come on in the car my father would turn it up, when my mother was there she would turn it off.

"You Know They Have A Hell Of A BAND!!!" The lead guitar has just shown up.

Dick Dale, King of the Surf Guitar.

His music, invented by and played by him, was in HEAVY ROTATION, during my life at college, and ever since. I had headphones as a kid, but it wasn't until college that I had the freedom to listen to what I wanted, as loud and out loud as I wanted.

And I wanted Dick Dale. And Jon and the Nightriders and The Ventures and The Surfaris and The Bel-Airs and and and... To this day, my favorite surf track is Mr. Moto. Unless it's Miserlou.

You're right, that is one helluva band.

Pete was pretty bummed. His ring tone is Dick Dale. I was over at his shop when the news dropped. We immediately changed the record (yes, vinyl) to Dick and we cranked it up. His phone pinged the rest of the night with people texting him the bad news.

Pete had met Dick a couple years ago, and the record we played, he had bought from his hand 2 years ago.

Sad. He was a really cool old dude from all accounts. At the show that night, someone threw their gum up on stage, and Dick picked it up and popped it in his mouth and chewed it for the rest of the set.

You may remember the [English] Beat for "Mirror In the Bathroom" and "Save It For Later". You may remember General Public for "Tenderness" and their cover of "I'll Take You There". Co-founder/singer Ranking Roger, has died of cancer, age 56.

I love this part:

Quote:

As the clock ticks away a lifetime,
hold your head up to the gun of a million cathode ray tubes
aimed at your tiny skull.
May you find sweet inspiration, may your memory not be dull.
May you rise to dizzy success.
May your wit be quick and strong.
May you constantly amaze us.
May your answers not be wrong.
May your head be on your shoulders.
May your tongue be in your cheek.
And most of all we pray that you may come back next week!
Be a quiz kid.
Be a whiz kid.

Remember Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom? Remember Marlin Perkins?

Well, do you remember the guy who did all the dirty work?

Jim Fowler died on May 8th. His fish was complications from heart disease.

(real name Tardar Sauce) has died (May 14). She was 7 years old. The mixed breed cat died of complications of a urinary tract infection.

Her 'grumpy' appearance was caused by an underbite, and feline dwarfism.

Gravdigr · 05-17-2019, 09:35 AM

Also, architect, and crossword puzzle clue/answer I.M. Pei died May 16, at 102. As for his fish...He was 102!

He and his wife were married for over 70 yrs when she died in 2014.

Undertoad · 05-17-2019, 12:19 PM

Grumpy Cat, aka Tardar Sauce, 7.

This is a true loss for the Internet. Grumpy Cat represented a better time, when we used social media to just enjoy pictures of a cat who looked grumpy.
