Ikke nok

18. marts 2019

But that is not enough. We need a whole new way of thinking. The political system that you have created is all about competition. You cheat when you can because all that matters is to win. To get power. That must come to an end. We must stop competing with each other. We need to start cooperating and sharing the remaining resources of this planet in a fair way. We need to start living within the planetary boundaries, focus on equity and take a few steps back for the sake of all living species.

Dick Dale – kongen af surfguitaren – er død, 81 år gammel

18. marts 2019

Som ganske ung udviklede Dick Dale en lidenskab for to ting, guitarspil og surfing. Og de to interesser blev forenet, da han blev pioner i den såkaldte surfrockstil, hvor han var med til at udvikle guitarens mange muligheder – og blev inspirationskilde for senere guitarister, fx Jimi Hendrix, Beach Boys, Van Halen og Ry Cooder. Dale er citeret for at definere surfrock som  “that rumbling and all that stuff like that they associated the heavy Dick Dale staccato… it sounded like the barrel of a goddamn wave”.
