30 years since D Boon died

A fitting tribute today on the HuffPost to the great American DIY punk, and one of our great political philosophers.

The Minutemen changed my life. Here's to D Boon, playing his guitar.

That D. Boon's bassist and best friend, Mike Watt, still plays bass, writes music, and tours the country in a Ford Econoline van; and that Mike Watt ends his gigs with the exhortation to "start your own band, paint your own picture, write your own book"--twenty years after his friend's death broke his heart--and that Mike Watt continues to champion this D.I.Y. punk philosophy while many other punks have burnt out, grown soft, or given up; and that Mike Watt (I imagine) perseveres in part to honor his brilliant friend's brief life and the possibilities bequeathed to future musicians, artists, activists, punks and outsiders--is one of the greatest American success stories of all time.
"Our band could be your life."
D. Boon is dead. Long live D. Boon.

Really? Joe Strummer on the same day? Jesus. Today sucks.
Listening to the Politics of Time right now. The working men are pissed.

Thanks Baloo for making think about how long ago that actually is rather than how long ago it seems.

Double Nickles really is one of my all time favorites.

mike watt is super cool. They interviewed him during one of my radio shows back in the day. I only got to ask him one question, but it was pretty cool to have him in the studio.
he looked like fidel castro at the time, as he was working on an never released fidel biopic
at the time, I was not a firehose or minutemen fan. I was more into shoegaze. Still am actually. But firehose and minutemen are cool, just my thing

Marc Maron interviewed Watt on his WTF podcast a few months ago.
I did not know much about him, but it was an interesting show. Well worth a listen if you are a fan.
