THE MINUTEMEN - HISTORY LESSON PART II


This is from the end of the WE JAM ECONO documentary, which tells the story of the legendary California punk rock group the Minutemen. At the end of the film here, we see bassist Mike Watt tell us that meeting D. Boon changed his life, much in the way that their fans were changed by their music.
As the film closes, we're given an acoustic performance of "History Lesson Pt. II" from the album "Double Nickels on the Dime". The song seems somewhat sad here as we say good by to one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
On a personal note, this is my all time favorite Minutemen song...
"We learned punk rock in Hollywood... Drove up from Pedro...We were fucking corndogs. We'd go drink and pogo"
