George Hurley Interview here.. • CORONA, Minutemen STOR...
If you are really interested in the Minutemen ,Google "A Wailing of a Town" by Craig Ibarra for their true Pedro history. I finished it recently and am very impressed. I thought I knew everything. Good luck finding it.
NOTES JUNE 2, 2015
NEW- The complete footage from the same daÿ. Watch around 20 minutes of footage never seen before. Uploaded September 1, 2022 and is here- • Minutemen in Concert a... Enjoy
D. Boons last Pedro gig ever on was Nov. 16, 1985. Corona is used with permission via drummer George Hurley who co-wrote the music (still un-credited) with the late guitarist . It's about the contrast of 2 neighboring countries, US and Mexico and really the huge contrasting inherited economic differences between the North and South American continents. D Boone was inspired to write the lyrics when the band visited La Salinas beach south of Tijuana due that nights Black Flag gig had been interrupted by the Federalie's pointing machine guns and such... so at the beach for a few days, a woman with torn up shoes was spotted trash digging for bottles to return for the deposit. George and D Boone called her over and gave her a couple cases of empty Coronas. The songs meaning is defined by the last few lines,
"I could see it in her eyes"
"I only had a Corona"
" Five cent deposit" .
If you actually read them yourself, you can see that the song has nothing in common with Jackasses or drunken pranks. It's a political song.
What they could see in her eyes refers to what George described to me as a permanent kind of sadness. Obvious before, and still there after she got enough corona empties to overflow the tote bag she was carrying. "That kind of permanent sadness doesn't go away". and "How proud can you be when you are living off of foreigners trash"? he also said.
The Jackass franchise has grossed $490 million so far. That's almost half a billion dollars as of today. June 2, 2015.
Coronas signature countrified opening guitar lick is still (over) used by MTV as the Jackass theme lick intro. George had not seen dime one from Corona or any other minutemen song until very recently (25 years later) I'm happy to report, even though for many, many years SST Records had been selling greatest hits CD's and T' shirts online from Texas.
This Video was shot on 3/4" tape by Bob Hicks (moi) and S. Kirk Nelson for a local cable access show, "Sounds of South Bay" that aired in 1985. The Minutemen segment was never used.
They had just got back from a successful southern tour opening (and doing the final encores) for REM. They were on their way.....
" Minutemen" was also an insider comic term referring to the bands sexual stamina.
D. Boone died sick and asleep, ejected from the back of his own van his girlfriend Linda Kite was driving to Arizona in to see her Mom for Christmas on Dec. 22 1985, about 5 weeks after this video was shot.
CORONA LYRICS
The people will survive
In their environment
The dirt, scarcity, and the emptiness
Of our South
The injustice of our greed
The practice we inherit
The dirt, scarcity and the emptiness
Of our South
I could see it in her eyes
There on the beach
I only had a Corona
Five cent deposit
I hear that opening riff right before I'm about to make any stupid decision
Haha I like you
No you don’t
Jeff Panetta stfu kid
Telling you dont be a jackass 😂
Jeff Panetta come on man it’s a jackass reference. This is the theme song
the perfect band. just 3 talented normal guys that deserved success.
normal?
They didn't want it
Benjamin Bennett They left their mark on culture in a way few can or will, what a thing to aspire to-day!?
They didn’t want success. They were just 3 dudes who loved making music.
Pretty sure they held down full time jobs too
I wish normal was these guys
I was at this show. So amazing. I was lucky enough to be living right across the street from Angel's Gate. Long live D. Long live The Minutemen.
Christian Moreno what happened to d boon always knew watt n minutemen but like i just realized this was king of the hill .was a thrasher n hip hop bug i always would hear d boon this n that seems like a legend im smoking one for ol D!
You were definitely watching legends.
Where is the rest of this set!?!?!
I took the set list from this show.
@@Tucko1 You're not a real person.
Damn he's a beast guitarist, he makes the guitar look effortless to play
Jumping around like that? No doubt. Talented. RIP Boone.
Jumpin around...right hand locked in
Surely, it's not "shred a thousand notes", but that rhythm guitar is full of swing and a lot said "shredders" can't even get something close to that.
songs pretty easy to play, 2 fingers up and down neck, fills a lil harder though.
It doesn't take much effort. Easy to play.
This show was on November 16, 1985 at Angels Gate Amphitheater in San Pedro, CA. The Minutemen's last show ever was on December 13, 1985 in Charlotte, NC, on the REM tour. D. Boon died on December 22, 1985. RIP D. BOON.
Thank you.
I was only 3.
I love watching D Boon floating across the stage like some mondo caffeinated cherub.
Ah... the minutemen. One of the most underrated punk bands out there. They combined folk elements with alternative, and funk. RIP D Boon.
one of the greatest punk songs: short, classic riff, political.
I wasn't around for the Minutemen, but watching their live videos makes it seem like D Boon isn't even dead. So much satisfaction and expression. I absolutely love this fucking band.
I was there that day. Boon said it was the only set they've ever finished in Pedro without the cops showing up. Aside from this show, I saw them a few other times within weeks, including an amazingly long set at a Cal State LB noontime bar gig. Good times.
I only played live once. The police were there from the beginning. Didn't stop people from throwing cans at me though.
Was that at The Nugget at CSULB?
@@Menig Yes, it was at the Nugget. I swear they played for over 2 hours. Great show.
Why did the cops showed up at Minutemen's gig? Were they harassed by them like Black Flag?
In 2013 I had dreams about D. Boon still playing gigs.
Minuteman was highly underrated and deserves more recognition than they get
They’re not underrated at all. This comment is ludicrous
@@jeff7764 you’re entitled to your wrong opinion 🥰
@@TheBatwave please explain to me how they’re underrated? Year after year, decade after decade they are constantly on every major publications greatest lists
@@jeff7764 I think there is a difference between people already in the know praising them versus the general public not knowing who they are. Not saying green day isn't good, but more people would be less hesitant to say green day is amazing than they would the minutemen
Watching The Minutemen play live is totally inspiring. Seeing three guys who live, eat, breath and drink their music and you can tell watching them live that they love it and don't give a shit what anybody else thinks...that's the true definition of what punk rock is to me.
Love The Minutemen. D. Boone could certainly cut some moves whilst playing. Legend.
I like how the bass player seems to be amused by the singer's dancing moves, like it was the first time he ever saw it
Been listening to them since I was 14 but was 42 when I found out this is great song to play, If you can get a tele and turn up the treble all the way, bass and mids down its not hard to slide away at that intro.. D's energy says the it all.
We're lucky to live in a time when men like him paved the way for the rest of us.
Where did you go on that road these men paved?
@@RidgeRunner-lz5ko ... that's a long and personal fuckin' story bud 🤘
In 2000 Watt, as administrator of the band's publishing, allowed the automaker Volvo to use the Boon instrumental "Love Dance" (from Double Nickels) in a car ad. Boon's royalties were paid to his father, who was suffering from emphysema. Watt simply refers to the decision as a way for Boon to help his father from beyond the grave.[10] wikipedia
I believe Mike used alot of is Jackass money to help Boons dad as well.
Or so I read some time back.
R.I.P D Boon
Amen
I've always loved this song and now I know a bit more about the band. I love these kind of surprises. You learn something new every day. Well, I try to anway.
Ben, you will like this. CORONA STORYTIME here. ruclips.net/video/IPnZLL0f5cc/видео.html
Pedropolouis of
One of my favorite bands ever. Meat puppets too
I saw them at the Circle A ranch in Dallas. D Boon was jumping around so much the stage was shaking. Billy Bragg was supposed to open up but didn't make it through customs. He's on the T-shirt but it wasn't at the show.
D Boon is so incredibly talented. It's almost hard to watch these videos.
I knew parts of this story but in tears reading your moving recount. Beautifully written and so important to remember, thank you!
for a bigger guy, D Boon had a lot of energy. Sad that he left us way too soon.
We jam econo. Minutemen forever.
They may well my favorite band, ever. Love the energy.
Wow soo bad ass boons energy is just un matched. And all to his his own to forever own . such a brilliant player writer human... R.i.p.
I am in process of reading Craig Ibarra's book, A Wailing of a Town... Got it at a celebration of D. Boon's birthday at The Sardine in Pedro on April 1st (2024). It was a fascinating era of music. D. Boon, I didn't know you but wish I had. ❤🙏
I smile watching D Boon bounce around the stage.
D BOONE VOICE WAS JUST PLAYED AT WRESTLEMANIA IN FRONT OF 75,000 PEOPLE !!!!
D BOONE FOREVER
51 minutes ago wow.
I wish I'd met D Boon. The nearest I got was listening to Mike Watt talk to Ed Crawford about D. in my kitchen, saying how much D. would love touring around Europe, when fIREHOSE were supporting Sonic Youth. Getting them to sign all my Minutemen records just brought it home how much he was missed.
Austin Lucas
Hmm, don't know of any Camper/Crawford or Nirvana connection I have to say, apart from my own connection of having bootlegged all those bands back in the Eighties, and Nirvana having covered my brother's ex-girlfriends songs!
Austin Lucas
Just shows you what you can do if you take the initiative!
Austin Lucas
Not just yours, mine have vanished too on occasion.
+terrypussypower I met Boon and the others many times over the years, and was at this show too. He was every bit as cool as you would imagine. All the Minutemen are stand-up dudes.
Baguio é hardcore garai
Azideia
Bágui é doido mesmo
deeesaffiiio
Para de rir alek
I love u D Boon! Shine on D! Minutemen music added fun to my teenage years. And now 😻😁🎯💯🎼🎶☄️🍪❄️🍍👏🐐🤘🏼❣️❤️❤️
Great job, putting this online. The best of the best...I didn't know him, but I loved their music, and their heads.In my mind, I still see them at Al's Bar.
Thank you for this. Excellent video. Great description in the narrative.
RIP D. Boon, a great band :(
So much energy, really having fun
Coronavirus brought me here. HBD Boon!
Definition of an underrated band.
Thank you so much for sharing this video and your background information about it. 🙏
Beautiful song!!! 🥂🎉🥳🎈🎊🍾👯♀️
I was at their last show....they opened for REM in Charlotte NC Dec. 13 1985...D. died a few days later.
I'm a bassist and im starting to pick the guitar up. I'm amazed by how he's playing while jumping around like that
Yeah it's amazing how he moves about and still is able to play and sing.
Legends never die
Greatness. Normal. Pure.
The Minutemen!!!
THEN
NOW
FOREVER!!!!
this is a prophetic song
Everson Zoio's theme song
Who knew this would be such a perfect name for a great song....
Great name for a virus.
GO D. BOON ROCK ON IN HEAVEN :(
GOD BLESS YOU MY SOUL BROTHER :)
I'm a huge fan of Minutemen and post-punk in general, and I thought Jackass's use of this was very fitting and brought them to a wider audience.
Good song rip d.boon
I grew up listening to them.. Thanks for posting
D Boon was the fuckin man
Fucking love Boon. Got to see him right before his passing…
Thanks for the video. I believe I read an interview with Mike Watt in which he specifically notes that D. Boon died in a Dodge van, not an Econoline.
dis guy make me want to live up to 100yo with a stupid smile on my face
I assumed this band were a one hit wonder, a country band with a little ditty that got used on the Jackass shows. I slept on this band for the longest time. The Minutemen are AMAZING seek out their music and the documentar(ies) on them
HAPPY BIRTHDAY D BOON!
from Brazil very good son
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.. rip d. boon
Good song, lots of positive energy, especially the late D Boon jumping around. Well done.
Such a feel-good song!
It's a happy song about people living in poverty.
Hi I'm minutemen and this is "corona virus"
R.I.P. D. Boon, it's been 33 years now this day. He would have been 61 now.
D Boon così leggero ❤️❤️❤️
we are all here for the same reason
jackass forever in september 2021
Hi I’m Johnny Knoxville…and this is 80s styles
I ❤️ D Boon
really fantastic notes and context in here, thanks Bob!
Best cover I’ve heard yet
That information in the description is really enlightening and his death is very tragic. I wasn't aware he died that way.
Top 10 Best songs in Anime History
@You Tube viewer fuck your opinion bro
Which anime did it appear in?
really great band..
Me: sees the music name in 2020
"Corona"
Also Me: *W H A T*
*HOW*
Because it was all planned
Because it's a song referencing the *BEER* that has been around for decades. The word "Corona" has existed *long* beforehand.
The song was written after a trip to Mexico on the 4th of July 1982. The band were drinking on a beach, then a lone trash picker showed up. They decided to give her the beer bottles so she could get the deposit money, and they also drove her to the recycling plant.
Who's listening to this in 2020?
Our new pandemic national anthem
Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville. Welcome to Jackass!
hahahahah those days man
Yes
D Boon rules!
Documento meraviglioso
what a great band boon is sadly missed
Bagui é hardcore
O BAGUIO É HARDCORE MERMÃO
Eterno D.Boon
thanks for that little spiel pedropolis !
Masters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow 😮awesome 👏
Minutemen's live shows got so fucking good towards the end...So sad about D...
This is the "Minutemen". The album "Double Nickels on a Dime" was released in 1984.
Accolades include - "One of the very best American rock albums of the 80's", Top 25 Greatest Albums of All Time, 40 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time.
It references a variety of themes, from The Vietnam War and Racism in America to Working-Class experience and Linguistics.
Lyrically, "Corona" is a Latino protest song which is an elegiac complaint regarding the injustice and destructive greed of the United States.
Lead singer-guitarist D Boon closes by singing about a bottle of Mexican beer intended for a poor woman on a beach in Mexico due to a five cent deposit.
Jackass used the song for its opening theme in 2000, which undermines the political message by replacing it with asinine stunts and a midget.
Meanwhile, injustice and destructive greed has run up 25 trillion of debt.
It took Germany almost 100 years to pay 269 billion of WW debt.
It would take 25792734.75 years just to count to 25 trillion.
Oh, well.
I remember reading about in the Daily Breeze in the following days. Big loss, locally, and the world, in my opinion.
The Daily Breeze ... that takes me back.
The people will survive
In their environment
The dirt, scarcity and the emptiness
Of our south
The injustice of our greed
The practice we inherit
The dirt, scarcity and the emptiness
Of our south
There on the beach
I could see it in her eyes
I only had a Corona
Five-cent deposit
Rip d boon
There is a german youtuber called "drachenlord" which basicly means "dragonlord" (lord of dragons) which looks exactly like the guy at the beginning who's jumping around like he's having a bunch of fun (which certainly is the opposite of the youtubers life)
I've loved this band for longed than I've known about dragon Lord... By godd u r right I can't look at d the same again haha (well when he has long hair at least)
IT DOES LOOK LIKE HIM
meddl loide
just saw an interview with Mike Watt. He said that the song got nothing to do with jackass, but he also said, that he likes jackass cause is is real and raw.
Awesome.
deu até vontade de fazer desafio
0:01 They really did jam econo(line)!
Hurley gives me hair envy.
This song look nostalgic
The "you'll regret this decision" theme.
D Boon was so damned cool.
