For some reason the man wants you to believe that dip should be primarily consumed on top of a fairly plain conduit (be it a chip, cracker..knife, spoon..finger). I'm not sure who trend setter zero is in this instance, but that person should have been slapped. I'm not saying dip's not enjoyable with plain (salted) chips/crackers/what have you, but if you stop there you're going to miss out on a whole world of flavour. I've previously mentioned ketchup chips into dill pickle dip, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Most people can enjoy an artist recording/getting up onto stage with just their voice and a guitar. I can also confidently say that people need more than that sometimes..if not most of the time. Throw in some drums, bass, another guitar..some brass or a fiddle, how bout a slide whistle or a back up singer..shit, even a beer tray. Take Red Roses for Me, The Pogues first album, for example. They literally used a beer tray on multiple tracks. Go listen to Waxie's Dargle and tell me that song'd be just as good if Shane was standing there with only his angelic voice and an acoustic guitar (sure, it'd still be good but you'd be missing out). There's more instruments used on Red Roses for Me than you can shake a glass of whiskey at, and it flavours that album so masterfully.
Now come at me and tell me that it makes sense to only crush plain with dip. Go grab some chili with cheese..and a bag of Covered Bridge Smokin' Sweet BBQ and have at it. How bout some queso with salt and vinegar chips. Sweet Chili Heat into salsa, shit yeah. As a little guy once said, Let's Go Crazy.
Damn the man!
Stay hydrated..and mix shit up,
