Remembering Dime

When I was in high school, I remember getting an issue of Guitar World in the mail that featured Dimebag Darrell on the cover.

Wasn't Darrell on the cover of every other issue back then....;^)

I like that “Mr. Ono” bit.

I’ll always remember him for when the Dallas Stars won the Cup in 1999, he was a regular at Stars game, and even wrote the Stars’ fight song that played over the PA when they came on the ice.

Dimebag seemed like an all around cool guy to hang with while Anselmo came off like Ass-elmo....
Funny how they were able to escape their glam past (plenty of pictures of “Diamond” Darrell and the boys out there on the Net’) and carve a chunk of serious cred.

Well. there’s two minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

Somehow I don’t think you are all too important to miss out on anything.

One nitpick with the author. The murder of Lennon was not callous, it was the act of a insane person. When an insane person commits murder, s/he typically thinks it is a good and/or necessary action. Callousness requires recognition of the wrongfulness of an act, but not being bothered by it. The ‘callous’ is located on your conscience, allowing you to perpetrate a bad action without it affecting you emotionally.

whoever the f)ck "dimebag darrel" is or was, he wasn't John Lennon, so, you win the non-sequitir of the year AND the pimp-the-dead-celebrity awards.

Congratulations.

Was this post directed at you, twerp?

you gotta forgive me. I'm so uncultured.

[Darryl Lecht]

No, just stupid.

[Darryl Lecht]

Yep - just another reason to celebrate.

[the invisib1e hand]

No, just stupid.

Well, I doubt that.

Anyway, I can tell Mr. Bag means a great deal to you, so I think I'll stop responding to your elementary school recess level insults, if you don't mind.

I like the reference to John Lennon as “Mr. Ono.”

I might be the only one, but I was not a fan of the Beatles and certainly not a fan of Lennon. Back in the 60s when they first came out, my friends went ga-ga over one or the other Beatle. Me, I thought they just made a lot of noise. And Lennon as a solo artist (or with his wife) was untalented IMHO. Sorry he’s gone and I’m sure his wife and children miss him, but I can’t get worked up over this anniversary.

You came in first and started it off. Now, run away.
