Affirmacast 55 - Double Nickels on the Dime
This week Affirmatron passes into the 2nd half of the 1st half of the century mark. Take a sec. We'll wait for you.
Kind of a weird night. Not bad. Just a weird vibe that everyone was on.at the same time. It was kind of cool.
Let me explain something about the title: So, 55 is sometimes referred to as a Double Nickel. Double Nickels on the Dime is the name of the greatest record by the band The Minutemen. It may be, arguably, one of the best records, if not the best, from that era. D. Boon, lead singer/guitar player/visionary was taken from us too soon when, in 1985, he was thrown from the van he was riding and died instantly. He was 27.
If you get nothing else from these podcasts, I hope you take a moment and discover a little about D. Boon.
