commercial came on. Buncha surfers hitting the
waves....when there he is....Dick Dale playing
Miserlou out of the back of the Pathfinder on the
screen.
My wife asked, "who the hell is Dick
Dale?"....GROAN!!!

I'm a little disappointed really. I mean, surf music is supposed
to be all about surfin', girls, guitars, and REAL cars. Not like
that crappy Pathfinder. I mean really, if you were going to go
through all that hassle to take Dick on Surfari with you, would you
really want him playing outta some wimpy little Blues Junior? HELL
NO! You would pack his ass and his SHOWMAN into the back of Arnold's
HUMMER and plow the whole damn rig right down onto the sand at the
H.B. pier like a TRUE Californian!!! ~Mike

I saw them run it last night on Comedy Central. He's
only in it for a few seconds and you hear the very
opening lick of Misirlou. I wonder if he had his amp
plugged into the cigarette lighter or what...

That's nothing. I took my wife to Dick's show in Denver. She asked me what
to wear, and I told her Dick really likes cleavage. She took care of that,
and at the end of his first three songs he flicks one of his picks at her
after liking it. It flies through the air and lands right on her rack.
Some drunk in the crowd hollers "bitchin" and Dick says: "no, those are
bitchin". Now that's a wife.
Lindsey Rocks!

My wife thought I wanted to take her to the bedroom when I mentioned
Dickdale??? Boy, does she need some work...
[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
I saw the commercial last night for the first time (they showed it at
least twice during the Thursday night NBC programming - EXPENSIVE
advertising slots!), and I was all excited! Until my wife poured
some cold water on me: "he looks like a freak." Well, yes, he does,
she had a point. How many people that see that commercial will be
totally puzzled? "What the hell does that old, weird-looking guy
dressed like a Hell's Angel have to do with surfing or cars? Who is
he? Why is he playing the Pulp Fiction song?" Or maybe, "so, the
commercial tells us that the Pathfinder is big enough to bring
slightly-unhinged grandpa while we go surfing - he can entertain
himself by playing the guitar while we're in the water."
Anyway, I really am happy for him, and I'm excited surf music is
getting that kind of exposure (oh, sorry, I meant Dick-Rock! Ha -
exposure!) but I don't think that'll be a long-lived commercial. Tape
it now for posterity.
Ivan
PS Rick, ask yourself would you rather that your wife upon hearing
you say 'Dick Dale!' replies with a) oooh, surf music! or b) let's
go, bedroom, now! Hmmm.....

Agreed....most people will say what my wife said and
wonder who the hell Dick Dale is.
And ya know, it would have been much better if it were
a Jeep Wrangler commercial! Actually, it would be
better if the Nissan was a Chevy Nomad wagon....but
since most cars these days lack class entirely, I
would have preferred to see a Wrangler on the sand. At
least it would get in and out without using a winch.
But most yuppish soccer mom's don't go anywhere that
needs 4WD anyway. There is just something inherently
wrong with the concept of a luxury 4WD vehicle.
I am put off with all of the car adverts using all
these songs and artists. I am horrified by Caddy's Led
Zep strains...and The Ramones tunes in a car ad?
Blech.
No wait, wasn't Johnny Ramone one of Rolling Stones
top 100 guitar players of all time? Up in the top 30
as I recall.....it's a crazy world.

Quite the quandry, , but fortunately we have the TV and the CD player in the
bedroom!
So, I choose all of the above! grin

My wife did the same! I was in the living room and she in the kitchen. I
hear this frantic "Dick Dale's on TV"..Me: "quick...what channel, what
channel???", but it was too late I missed it.
We are lucky guys CG....I've actually got mine playing surf music on bass!
Its awesome. She's playing along to the Bambi Molesters version of Bombora
right now as I type ;-)
BN
Hi Brain,
Any chance you, or your wife might do a bass tab for Bombora? And upload
the file?
It would be nice for all the biginning Surf Bass players.

Since the Bass is more complicated then just following the Guitar, some
bass tabs would be great.
Just an idea,

If you have an independent record store in your town you can probably obtain
"living in darkness" which is their first lp... if they dont have it you
could make them order it. Other wise if your looking for other releases like
the bithin' sumemer ep, i have never personaly seen them for sale. if all
else fails try ebay.

As much of a fan that i am for 70's punk rock, and the ramones in general,
jhonny ramone doesnt really deserve his spot in the 100 greatest guitar
players of all time... he did however play a mosrite and that is cool.

Actually, according to what he himself stated in a TV
interview a few years back, Johnny Ramone couldn't
even play the guitar when they started playing CBGB's.
He learned like three chords and just banged on it.
There were many names on that insepid Rolling Stone
list which had no business being there. Jack White? It
just shows what Rolling Stone has become (or perhaps
always has been). And there were many many names which
were not on the list and should have been.
