Much as I love the Dickster (have seen him 3 times now), I have to
agree with TFJ and Ivan.
Every song he's either getting royalties from, or else it's part of
a 10-minute medley. While I admit that the young ladies in the
crowd DO catch my eye, I'm in my early 20s, which is at least
justifiable (or so I like to tell myself). What I always get is how
he goes into his 10-15 minute spiels about "how to make music".
See, he's just a vessel, and the music moves through him. It's all
about the corazon. That's about the time I head over to the bar for
another pint.
However, the man is every bit as quick as he was 30 years ago (even
though he is wearing all that leather), and his tone is at least
close to that which made him famous. However, a lot of people have
told me recently that is tone is getting a little "dirtier" due to
aging equipment that isn't being kept up and his wireless system.
I'd still go see him again, and think EVERY surf guitarist should
see him at least once, if nothing else, so you can say you've seen
him.
