HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIMEBAG!!!!

By Jacob Arias
HAPPY 43RD BIRTHDAY DIMEBAG. Thoughts and Shots.

On this day, that pink-bearded, fun loving prankster, guitar legend, and friend to all, turns 43. I use the word "turns" in the present tense because in my eyes and, I am sure, the eyes of all his family, friends, and fans is still alive in our hearts. His music was an inspiration to all of us and his personality broke barriers that people battle with everyday.
Dime's birthday party would have been a multi-day affair, consisting of Fireworks, Blacktooth Grins, Jager, Texas BBQ, family and friends, and a lot of ridiculously raucous shenanigans.
The famous architect, Ricardo Legorreta, said, "We all copy, and anyone who says different is a liar. The only obligation is to do better than the original." That's what Dime did and that's what we should do now.
Today, we all should raise our glasses to not only Dime, but his brother, Vinnie, and to his parents for giving the fire that raised hell under the world's ass.
