: thank you for the moving words, and for reminding us of the of genius d. boone...it's sad but very few of us remember the impact of this man and his band...i've asked both young and old punks all over the world "do you like the minutemen" the answer is generally a resounding "who"... i know instantly that a person is either really cool, or lying to try and impress me if they answer "yes"...both of which are generally fine with me...
: "on the back of a winged horse,
: through the sky pearly grey
: love is leaf-like,
: you and me baby...
: twinkle, twinkle
: blah, blah, blah
: E...T...C"
: or if you prefer
: "I REFUSE TO BE A SLAVE"

: nobody can bring back the 80's and our vanquished youth...not even the "W"...thank god...and i suppose it doesn't really matter if the youthniks know their heritage...but i think it's a tragedy to go through life without having heard that great flabby rebel d. boone, his righteous anger, folksy paranoia, and vivid populist intelligence...very few artists or individuals ever achieve this level of expression and they should be revered.
