See, the fact is that Dick Dale is Dick Dale. His idiosyncracies are legendary
and very well-known. He used to tell venues that he would not play if another
Instro Surf Band was going on before him - He didn't want the audience's
attention for his music diluted in any way at all.
This has never been a secret, and of all people, Dave W oughta have been
extremely aware of this. I come back to the issue of respect. If I heard Dick
Dale playing one of our songs, yes, I'd be totally flattered and stoked! But
for ME to presume to perform Dick's #1 SIGNATURE SONG, prior to Dick himself
getting on stage - SORRY, I find that inexcusably unprofessional and
disrepectful. Like I said, younger folk just ain't got the same level of
artistic ethics these days!

Yeah, maybe, *given* that this is a special benefit for Jim Pash, and
not a regular gig. So in the spirit of things I can see that. Still it
does seem odd that they would play Misirlou...but man, wouldn't that
have been something if DD joined Slacktone on stage? WOW.
However, I wasn't there so I won't judge the mood or the situation
from 1,000 miles away.
