Dirk Dirksen Pope of Punk Gets Street Named After Him

dirk

Now Dirk is a living part of North Beach, San Francisco, Punk Rock History and a California legend with his own street and plaque ensconced in pavement at 443 Broadway and Dirk Dirksen Place. So many of you to thank…Thank you so very much friends, Dirk’s family, punk rockers and the SF City officials for your contribution and support in making this a reality.

Special Thanks to Tom Ammiano and colleagues for helping us pass the legislation for the street renaming in Dirk’s honor and Joel Selvin for his punkish verse dedication that Dirk would have loved.
