Every now and then I think of a song that, for this portion of my life, defines me best. For the past year and a half, it's been this one:
list monitors arrive with petition iron-fisted philosophy is your life worth a painting? is this girl vs. boy with different symbols? being born is power scout leader nazi tagged as big sin your risk chains me hostage me, i'm fighting with my head, am not ambiguous i must look like a dork me, naked with textbook poems spout fountain against the nazis with weird kinds of sex symbols in speeches that are big dance thumps if we heard mortar shells we'd cuss more in our songs and cut down the guitar solos (guitar solo) so dig this big crux organizing the boy scouts for murder is wrong ten years beyond the big sweat point man, it was still there, ever without you coming back around, look! coming together, for just a second, a peek, a guess at the wholeness that's way too big

great song. i couldn't say it defines me, but what a great song to identify with. d boon was the best at paring down the words to the ones that count.

The lyrics are Mike Watt's, but the song is nothing without D Boon's delivery and Hurley's pulsating drums. I think my favorite part about this song musically is that each member of the band contributed to it in an absolutely essential way. Watt's lyrics, D Boon's vocals, and George Hurley's drumming were all in sync here perhaps better on anything else they ever recorded.

huh, watt eh? it is on the mike side of the record. i feel the same way you do about all of their body of work. the minutemen were a perfect band combining three individual talents into a truly awesome whole.
