Acehaze Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 62 Southwest Florida	Posted on Mar 05 2006 04:16 AM This is a funny thread. Another example of how pics make a difference... Klas I think I actually prefer his current ponytail, bandana and leather pants over having to see him perform naked! Lol! Yeah, I have to agree! bigtikidude What was wrong with him? That's funny too. But, cut the guy some slack. It's all part of the times. I'm still fairly young, but I can look back at some past photo's and cringe over my fashion sense. How bout you? Just think of how you'll look back on today... Course, the older you get, you might think "Hey, I looked pretty good back then", when your wearing slacks up to your nipples. — I'm Batman...No not <I>that</I> Batman. :p Top

Dick, Link and Bo will always be my guitar heroes, regardless of all the silly fashions. To wit: image Top
dp Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3546 mojave desert, california	Posted on Mar 14 2006 10:21 AM That's Dick Dale in the early- to mid- 1970s with his wife Jeannie. Dick met Jeannie in Hawaii during his cancer recovery days back in 1968-1970. During the early 70s, Dick had a motor home and played shows in Vegas. Dick and Jeannie also opwned the Playgirl club in Riverside CA...but, I don't know too many details about that place. Eventually, in the early 1980s, Dick and Jeannie split up... -dp Top

That's actually one of my favorite Dick Dale shots. Anyone know where it origins from? Could it be from an album back cover or is it some kind of promo card? — T H E ✠ S U R F I T E S Top

Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on May 17 2012 08:09 PM I think it was some kind of a requirement that aging rockers playing Vegas in the 70s had to wear those jump suits. The spread like an infection out of the disco movies. Better the jump suits than hot pants. A couple of hideous examples of those spring to mind dragging their gag reflexes behind them. But, yeah, the jump suits have not stood the test of time. Add leisure suits and doubleknit pants to the list. I'll admit to a pair of doubleknits. I remember the onset of sartorial wisdom (still trying to attain/retain that) when I turned down a pair of pumpkin colored cords in Just Pants. Pants yes, just not those.
