The pix is of the late great Minutemen starring the late great d. Boone -a man who might have done just about anything if his life wasn't cut off so suddenly and tragically, in a crash on the way to a gig.
Minutemen were featured in Michael Azerad's seminal take on indie rock in the 80s and on Sunday, contemporary indie rockers play tribute to the bands at Bowery Ballroom. If it was a Saturday, I'd go.
