How old is this guy?!?!

This is the man who pretty much invented "surf rock." This is the man who helped Leo Fender develop some of the key innovations that revolutionized the electric guitar and amplifier. This is a man who has beaten cancer twice, and at 72, still rocks with a fury. This is a man who's owned tigers.


Look up "badass" in the dictionary, and I'm pretty sure that you'll see his picture around there somewhere.

Saw him in Athens in about '97 or so, and it was good. Some of the bragging got to be a bit much, but he's earned it I guess.

Yeah, props to him for still doing his thing after all these years and still playing night after night.

That said, some of his new agey mumbo jumbo was a bit much.

Still, dude can still flat play.

Guy's a great guitarist, when I was first learning how to play I used to love playing stuff like Misirlou, simple but bad ass.
