Dick Dale

When I first played the guitar without plugging it into an amplifier, the people at Fender were blown away. They couldn't believe the sound. I said, 'See, gentlemen, the world is no longer flat.'

The Musicians Hall of Fame is chosen by thousands of your peers. So it's the real thing.

Little Richard, he'd say, 'Oh Dick Dale! You have luscious lips!'

Every song is like a painting.

You know, music is sex. It's a sensual driving mode that affects people if it's played a certain way.

I don't play pyrotechnic scales. I play about frustration, patience, anger. Music is an extension of my soul.

There's a saying. If you want someone to love you forever, buy a dog, feed it and keep it around.
