The Minutemen continued until December 22, 1985, when Boon was killed in a van accident in the Arizona desert on Interstate 10.[1][11] Because he had been sick with fever, Boon was lying down in the rear of the van without a seatbelt when the rear axle broke[12][13][14] and the van ran off the road. Boon was thrown out the back door of the van and died instantly from a broken neck.[15] He was 27 years old. Boon's death caused the band to immediately dissolve, though Watt and Hurley would form the band Firehose soon after. The live album Ballot Result was released in 1987, two years after Boon's death.

These were self-fulfilling prophesies with most of them. They became rock stars and couldn't handle the change. Their lives were a mess and people were giving them powerful drugs that they weren't used to.

It's up to you. Control your urges, live a balanced life, mentally and physically, and you'll get through it. It's only an arbitrary point in time, and time is a human construct that has nothing to do with eternity.

It ain't do big thing. I made it at the same time all those others didn't. The difference? I don't believe in "curses" or any of that horseshit, and I put my crazy days behind me. 27 was a wonderful year for me. A time of great self-discovery because that's what I wanted to be. It's all about your attitude. Peace. ☮
