I saw them in Austin too! May have been Emos. I think it was closer to '07 or '08. We were there to play Chaos in Tejas fest and we happened to see the Dicks were playing in town one of the nights so we went to check them out.
I heard of this band when I was about 14. I moved to Austin Tx. And had to take the same bus route to school everyday so I met all kinds of people. This one guy asked me what I was listening too and what kinda CDs I had in my bag, and at the time they were all "punk rock" like agent orange, the vindictives, g g allin etc... Well he told me his dad was in this band back in the day called the dicks. He brought me a cd the next day. Pretty cool story. I wish I wasn't so irresponsible and took care of that cd. It was so raw!
holy fucking shit, this is honestly one of the best songs ever written in my opinion, the simple melody, the low fi recording and the lyrics all come together so perfectly, its like the soundtrack of progress since the 18th century up until now, I can just see it playing in a montage of world progression showing all the wars and industrialization
gary floyd is my fucking hero. a big fat gay commie in austin fkn texas in the 1970s! his balls. wow. nevermind the fact that he sang like howlin wolf!!
In '98 i lived with half of a punk band. They covered this song on their first album, and it was an amazing cover. Sadly the band and their two albums drifted off into obscurity.

So saddened to hear of the passing of legendary Dicks (and Sister Double Happiness) frontman, Gary Floyd today. He was a dear friend and punk to the end. You are in the arms of The Mother now, my friend. Thank you.
its funny how singers try to be pitch perfect and convey all this emotion through their voice, and yet without any effort and just by seemingly screaming flatly, Floyd's voice is still ten times more evocative and mournful
Black lives do matter but I would appreciate if people stopped setting Target on fire. BLM is turning into a domestic terrorist group and it ain't even for George Floyd anymore

Top notch punk rock song. You can' t sing along, you just have to shout it loud. No doubt it is one of the best punk songs ever. Esto no roza la perfección, la alcanza. Una de las mejores canciones punk de la historia sin género de duda. No se puede cantar, hay que gritarla.

Rip Gary Floyd. One of the most unique voices in punk rock. You will be missed. I was lucky enough to see them in 2006 at Emos in Austin Texas.
I saw them so many times, can't remember in the 80s, maybe 10-13 times.
@@SantosSantos-bf5szjealous, I was a mere child during their first run. Happy I was able to see them at least once

Tough to beat this classic. Some of the great bands came from Texas .
Dicks rule
Dicks have been covered by Mudhoney, Jesus Lizard and others, I'm sure. Pure punk rock.

mucky pup The song evokes both feelings, I think.
It is sad. He is frustrated. Rightfully so. But , if he hadn’t been this song wouldn’t sound like it does . Perfection in punk
