Well, as the song goes, “It ain’t necessarily so....”

On March 19, 3 pm PDT, 6 pm EDT, 10 pm GMT, the Sun enters the last degree of Pisces, marking the final phase of the 360 steps (degrees) of transformation. This is the Omega point, the end of the end of the old year where we prepare for the beginning of the new, as symbolized by the first degree of Aries, the Northern Hemispheric Vernal entry point into Spring.

Dick Dale Just Caught the Ultimate Wave, Playing His Riffs the Whole Ride

The legend is dead. Dick Dale (born Richard Anthony Monsour; May 4, 1937 - March 16, 2019) created the "surf guitar" style of playing, and influenced a thousand bands. I saw him in Santa Monica about 20 years ago, and he was as awesome an old man as has ever hit a string! For your amazement, a brief tribute to the pioneer! First he wrote the prototypical "Miserlou," and later on, in a duet with Stevie Ray Vaughan, here's Dick and Stevie cranking out "Pipeline." He wrote "Let's Go Trippin' before the Beach Boys, and this appearance on Ed Sullivan made it clear he was THE ultimate surf guitar wizard when he performed "Surfin' the Wedge." RIP, guitar pioneer.
