Slacktone would NOT be playing Miserlou had it not been for Dick Dale,
sorry, simple as that! I know Dick didn't write it. I've read where
Phil Dirt said Slacktone "owns" Miserlou now. Sorry, but there is
nothing farther from the truth than this statement. The majorities
opinion, Jacob?? I know a lot of surf musicians and fans who wouldn't
want to hear Slacktone's version of Miserlou. I don't think we could
say the majority goes this way or that way on this topic. How about a
poll Brian(just kidding).
