  • Dave Dictor is the lead singer for the hardcore punk band MDC. Dictor was raised on Long Island and dropped out of Boston University in the 1970s. He spent a period of time living in Montana before moving to Austin, Texas, where he formed a band called the Stains that later evolved into MDC. Dictor and MDC later relocated to San Francisco, California. Dictor still performs with MDC around the world. He recently toured the U.S. with Citizen Fish. Dictor also recently appeared in the film American Hardcore, the film based upon the book of the same name. The song "I Remember" also appears in the film and on the soundtrack. MDC had lyrics decrying homophobia, for instance in the song " America So Straight?" Dictor also had a confrontation with Bad Brains over their homophobia directed at Randy Turner of Big Boys, which resulted in the MDC song Pay to Come Along. However Dictor stated in a 2007 interview that, although he has "answered yes or ambiguously when asked for years" he is not gay, but has been "a transvestite of sorts. " He has also said he is a "man in a lesbian's body."
  • Dictor si esibisce tuttora con gli MDC in giro per il mondo. Ha recentemente fatto un tour negli USA con i Citizen Fish. Dictor è anche apparso nel film American Hardcore, basato sull'omonimo libro. Anche la sua canzone I Remember è apparsa nel film e nella colonna sonora. Gli MDC hanno scritto testi spesso anti-omofobici, per esempio nel brano America So Straight? Dictor ha anche avuto un forte litigio con i Bad Brains a causa della loro presunta omofobia verso Randy Turner dei Big Boys; ciò è descritto nella canzone degli MDC Pay to Come Along. Tuttavia Dictor ha dichiarato in un'intervista del 2007 di non essere gay, ma di essere stato un travestito.
