TV Junkie: Interview with Kristin Bauer aka Pam from 'True Blood'
D Boon April 1, 1958 – December 22, 1985
There was never anyone like you, and there will never be anyone like you again. You were a driving force and a unifying voice when we needed one. You will never be forgotten. You live on in our hearts and in your music. Thanks for the ride.

Who?
God, how I miss him.
When I was a wee-punk I went to The Star in Pedro that he and Watt ran. It was all ages and ruled.
I saw so many great bands...*le petite sigh*
RIP D.

Benh57: There is a Wikipedia link on his name for those who are not familiar. But I think watching the video says it all.
Anyone who would like to know more can check out the video, "We Jam Econo"
Watt has spiels and tributes at

happy 50th dude!
Mike Watt and the Missingmen?
I guess that is a tribute to Boon.
I moved here in '84 so I missed their early years, but The Minutemen were a great band, there was no way to replace D.Boon.
So, maybe I'm thinking too much, but what is the not-so-subtle message of the first comment -- the curt "Who?" -- in response to a post that was not only heartfelt but provided plenty of context.
The man's name, his birth and death dates, not to mention the accompanying video all give a person plenty to go on if they really want to know who D. Boon was. We all have access to Wikipedia, right?
So, does "Who?" mean, "I've never heard of this person before today so he isn't famous enough for me to care, and the fact that you care is kind of lame?"
I don't want to believe that's what it meant, 'cause that would just be horrible manners.
