Let's take today to remember a truly great musician. A man of great honor, talent, and principle. A man whose death reminds us just how fleeting the best things in life can be.
I speak of course of the legendary D. Boon, singer and guitarist for the Minutemen. He died in an auto accident in 1985.
In memorial, here's an old, grainy video of the Minutemen performing "Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing" (lyrics here).
To the best of my knowledge, Jackson never actually did sing that song. His loss.
