  The third album is Stukas over Disneyland, their best, in my humble opinion.
They also have a white vinyl EP called The Dickies White Vinyl Maxi Single,
strangely enough.  The EP only has one song not contained on Incredible,
"Hideous".  I have heard rumors of a version of "Silent Night", but it's not
on anything I've seen.
  Leonard Graves Phillips (sp?) is the lead singer, and he and Steve Huffsteter
are the only original Dickies (there was a large change after Dawn of).
Does anyone know what became of Chuck Wagon--I'm under the impression that
he died (from the ode on the Stukas sleeve, and "Wagon Train").  Does
Steve Huffsteter have anything to do w/ the Repo Man soundtrack--I recall
seeing his name, or something close to it on the jacket.
  Where are these boys playing around Xmas?  I'd give my Diffy-Q teacher's
right arm to see them: they are the cutting edge of Rock and Roll, and there
can be *no....  [silly innocuous comments].  Good lord, a screen and a half
without mentioning Her Royal Highness.  What is this newsgroup coming to?
