he died years ago.
i thought that's why Merzbow did a Minazo tribute album
i mean it looks like he's in heaven no?
he may have been dead to you years ago...
he died 2 years ago.
Minazo reminds me of a character out of Studio Ghibli, specifically Spirited Away.
i like this pic of him with the handshaking
minazo is a legend on par with Bun B. so maybe he died 2 yrs ago. this week is the anniversary. you, ms damn, may want to bury his legacy. but I will be tipping my 40 to his memory tonight, gangsta lean style...
Chad, this has "belated birthday tattoo" written all over it.
At least I think that's what the Kanji says.
