    Surf music is still popular today. Sirius XM has a channel devoted to only surf music. RIP Dick Dale.

    I will say it again, back when the san francisco bay area had a great music scene. While the Jefferson Starship was a little szchopranic musically going from "miracles" "run away" "ride the tiger" to "jane" "stranger" "can't find love" they were a great band. The critics were never too kind to them which i believed inspired on modern times album "f..k you we do what we want" but I saw them live and they put on a great show and they seemed to be having fun doing it. Nuclear furniture was the beginning of the end. While it had a few good songs, they seemed to be running out of steam. But nonetheless I think they were still a good band especially as a straight forward rock band from freedom at point zero to winds of change. Miss those days. 🤘🏻✌🏼

    As a guitarist, he has already eaten everyone else for breakfast. There’s soul and emotion in his speed and in his silences between the notes.

    A humble man. Truly the best sailor in his time. Fame, fortune and trophies were unimportant to him. Ahead in the Golden globe race by a wide margin he decided to forego finishing the race and turned back out to sea.

    They were amazing. Saw them live in 1979. "The Knack" had Casablanca Records behind them, but were not nearly as good. So.... where is "The Knack" today?" Uff. Loved The Beat. Their first album - "The Beat" - one of the best EVER.

    It’s a real shame this band doesn’t get more recognition outside of power pop nerd fandom. I couldn’t believe how good that album was the first time I listened to it, and I had never even heard of them until maybe 15 years ago.

    I saw them a few times around Los Angeles back in the 1980s, I think Paul's based in Spain now? They put out some very catchy-sounding music back in those days and I still have their first album. Love the video, it looks like they just set up 'wherever' on random Hollywood street corners and cranked out some air-guitar moves.

    Thats not how it went with jimi hendrix saying that. Dick developed cancer in 69-70. Jimi heard it from a band mate and then Jimi said the actual words "surf music is dead. Him and Dick were good friends.

    The line 'you'll never hear surf music again' by Hendrix wasn't in regard to surfs waning popularity. It was a tribute to Dick Dale who had cancer at the time and wasn't expected to survive.
