"Savage recalls interviewing the Dils: 'They had a "political manager" who talked a load of Marxism. I said, "Well, what are you going to do when you get a record contract, when you get on telly, when you enter the beast?" And they just looked at me. I thought, "Oh OK. You're not going to get a recording contract, you're not going to get on telly, that's the way it is here." It was romantic, this complete outsider subculture releasing 1,000 copies of a 45. You could make your own culture.'"
