Almost 20 years exactly after D. Boon

... Randy from the Big Boys is gone. I never saw them, but they were one of my favorite American punk bands. They put the funk in the punk with honesty and heart. Wish I'd got to meet you, Randy.

Why Can't You See The BIG PICTURE? That was my favorite song for a time. I never saw the Big Boys, but I met Biscuit a couple of times. Once, at a party in Lawrence, KS where the members of the house were playing for their rent. (What ever happened to rent parties?) Then, when I was hitchhiking through Texas with the same friend in the houseband, we ran into him in Austin. We had showed up late to see him at the Continental Club in his new band, Cargo Cult, so I never got to see him perform. Damn. Punk is getting old. So am I.
