The Minutemen and D.Boon were a huge influence on my music, my art and my politics. They also lovingly represented everything that was good & unique about San Pedro. now most people know them from the theme to 'JACKASS'

I used to listen to The Minutemen back in the day too
A totally kick ass band that I wish I had now to listen to

Double Nickels on the Dime

[fredxmertz.livejournal.com]

their magnum opus, double LP, its like 43 songs, recorded in less than a week. done mostly '2 track live' in the studio and some of it just plain LIVE.
the title 'double nickels' was a jab at Sammy Hagar's "Can't drive 55" because they thought his music was very 'safe' & commercial. and because Mike Watt's VW Van didn't go much faster than 55 mph...
the album opens on each side with the sound of his van. classic.
