The final lineup of The Dicks. Lynn: “Tim Carroll left the SF Dicks. On top of the hood of the car is Granny. At the end of SF Dicks, a 6 to 8 month period, to the best of my recollection, Granny was the guitar player for those last several months and last few shows, including big Olympic auditorium in LA —our final show ever. I am still buddies with him. He lives in Sweden and still plays guitar and is an avid road cyclist.” Photographer unknown.
