I just come home from watching Dick Dale in concert. That guy is awesome !! He played guitar, harmonica, trumpet, bass and drums. He played rhythm on bass while his bass-player played lead (all on the same bass!!), he did the same with the drums and then played bass with the drum sticks ! See this to get an idea (unfortunately video and sound are not totally in sync, it's not my video btw) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9A7oFInJooHe's not your nice guy, he's a real rocker (I like that name btw). If Mike and Bruce are pretending to be a "surf band", then I saw the real king of surf tonight and he ain't no nostalgia act. If you get a chance, go and see him, but take care of your ears.

I don't understand what some of you have against such a doll. It's common practice among rock-stars. Elvis has 4 or 5. Jim Morrison, John Lennon also got one. It has nothing to do with the music and no one claims that. It's the same as when you buy a poster, just more expensive.
All of the above are dead rock stars. What does that say? Heh heh! Come on Rocker, even you must think it's a little bit naff? I'm not so much against the doll itself, more the motives behind it i.e. you pay DOUBLE for a signed doll. It is also a little scary. If someone brought that to my door last night for Hallow'een I'd have been scared to death! The hell with the doll, gimme some new music / releases Brian! Well then it's Brian's fault that he is one of the last living legends ? I'm not saying that this isn't done just for the money or something, but like I said, it's common practice. And if someone is willing to buy an autographed doll for a higher price, they should go ahead. It's just marketing, it has nothing to do with the musical side of Brian's career. I'd even say that he probably doesn't know such a figure exists. They could ask for even more if there are still people who'd buy this. I don't like that doll-stuff but I can understand it. Finally Brian is treated like other major rockstars (if it's good or bad)
