Didn't use the googles, however heard this morning that in an interview with him in his 70's when he was asked why he was still performing he replied that he had to because he needed the money. He was broke because of health costs related to cancer treatment, and other health complications not covered by any health plan. He became somewhat a poster boy for universal health care advocates in the states.
Please tell me he wasn't a scumbag.“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”

He was accused of having sex with an underage girl in the 80's. I realize that doesn't mean he actually did it tho. The percentage of false accusations in those cases is pretty low.

fwiw, LATimes:
"Dale spent the last part of 1983 in and out of Orange County Superior Court fighting child molestation charges (he was acquitted on 10 of 12 charges and the other two were dismissed)."

The rest of the LA Times report:
"Dale spent the last part of 1983 in and out of Orange County Superior Court fighting child molestation charges (he was acquitted on 10 of 12 charges and the other two were dismissed). He lost one of two Rendezvous nightclubs he owned to his ex-wife in a divorce settlement and the other was sold to the city of Garden Grove as part of the city's plan to renovate the shopping center in which it was located. In October, his application to open a new nightclub in Costa Mesa was rejected by the City Council."
Sounds like he was the screwee, not the screwer.
Jon Batiste was playing Miserlou last night. Did I righteous job of it.
I was reading about Dick Dale in the New Yorker daily email--Miserlou was an old Greek folk song, earliest known recording was 1927. All acoustic. With singing. In Greek.Last edited by old goat; 03-19-2019 at 11:55 PM.
