Minutemen: 3-Way Tie (For Last) (1985)

This is the fourth and last record from Minutemen. D. Boon, the lead singer and guitarist, died on December 22, 1985 in an auto accident. That's sad. This record was released many times in the US on cassette, CD and LP. The only other country in which this record was released was the UK on vinyl. Although Toronto is far closer to the ISA, I have the UK pressing. There are a nube of cover versions on this LP.

Here are some timely lyrics from The Big Stick

This is what I'm singin' about
The race war that America supports
Indians will never die
They'll do just fine if we let them try
And I hold, we're never told that peace is in our hands
If we stop there is time to heal the scars we've caused
To heal the scars we've caused
To heal the scars we've caused
