The Dickies Quotes

"And I'll tell you straight up, I would love to be able to go into the Steely Dan of punk mode. Just have Stan and I make records, and not have to be the monkey on the string, and do the puppet show that I do. I enjoy it, but it gets dull after a while."
Leonard Graves Phillips

"There's this myth out there, and it's been going on for years, that anyone who's a punk rocker grew up listening to Iggy Pop and the MC5 -- just punk from the get-go. And that's just not true. Most of these guys that had spiky hair back in 1977 were listening to Yes before they cut it off."
