Hey dudes, as we approach the sad anniversary of the lategreat D Boon's death (12/22/85), I'd like to throw a few econo boots at you all over the next month as a testament to what I consider a monumentally important outfit. To me, probably the most important. So indulge this month-long homage/foist and you'll be the better for it.
Can't help but think D would've been so stoked about the Obama win.
Check this homage from the HuffPost that nails it for me.
This here artifact was collected less than a month before D's death and is one of the most quality live captures of the group.
From the liner notes of the "Live from WREK" compilation: Revered as a seminal California band that fused genres as diverse as country, jazz, punk and classic rock, their set at WREK was performed in between opening slots for REM at the Fox Theatre. Unfortunately, this show was to be their last full length performance, as vocalist / guitarist D Boon was tragically killed in an automobile accident less than a month later. While some of the WREK set was released on the album Ballot Result, "Political Nightmare" was not on that album and is released in this form for the first time.
