Heard a long time ago from my buddy, DEE-TROIT rocker Serious Trixon, that
the Dics were getting back together. Now if there's a new Norton release,
maybe sometime in the next few years we can get a new issue of Kicks! And
who the fuck is frank Funaro???
I remember being at the legendary WMMS in Clevelnd in the 70s, when they
had a copy of Dics Go girl crazy on the wall with a sign "Is this the worst
LP ever made?"
