We Jam Econo

I love this guy. I still listen to the Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime all the time. A friend of mine Jason S. used to tell me how great this band is like nearly 20 years ago when we worked together at a marina in suburban NJ. Well Watt is still at it touring with Iggy Pop and the Stooges and playing with myriad folks all over. A great guy, always with something interesting to say. I watched some of the live performances from We Jam Econo and they are awesome. Cannot wait to see documentary that Web site describes as : "The acclaimed feature-length documentary on the too-brief life of one of the most revered, intriguing, and inspired American bands ever. At the heart of their story is the immeasurable personal and musical bond between bassist Mike Watt and singer and guiatrist D. Boon. Childhood friends, their unbridled creativity and political views were the foundation of this groundbreaking band which refused to be categorized as Punk. The film weaves together personal tales from Watt and drummer George Hurley with archival interview footage of the band and rare live performances. New interviews with over 50 musicians, artists, journalists, and friends help tell the Minutemen story, from their humble beginnings in the harbor town of San Pedro, California, to the tragic 1985 death of D. Boon in a highway accident in the Arizona desert. "
