As I'm writing these show notes, I'm listening to The Minutemen's History Lesson Part 2 which opens with this wonderful line:
"Our band could be your life".
For me, this succinctly captures what Mike Watt is about and what music is about…...
One day, way back when, a 13 year-old D. Boon jumped out of a tree and landed in front of Mike Watt. Looking him in the eye, he said "You're not Eskimo". "No, I'm not Eskimo", was Watt's perplexed response.
This chance encounter would lead to the formation of one of the most innovative, independent thinking bands of all time and a deep friendship and bond in life and death, one that has guided and shaped one of the most treasured contributors to culture and the arts and the guardian of the attitude that is punk rock.
An hour in Mike's company is an education and an honour.
