SHIT I JUST HEARD THIS BAD NEWS
STILL HOPING ITS NOT TRUE

Straight edge or not. Minor Threat were angry straight up in your face punk
rock. And it's sad that Ian Mackaye went out like that. Much Respect. RIP.


Ian Mackaye, lead singer of influential hardcore band Minor Threat as well
as Fugazi passed away today in a Baltimore hospital room. Outside a Fugazi
show in New Jersey last night, the singer was struck by a car passing by the
front of the Ventura Theatre. Brunswick police say that the driver allegedly
stopped, but then fled the scene. There is now a police investigation underway.

Mackeye was rushed to St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, where he was
pronounced dead this morning at 6am. This is a tragedy for the underground music as a
whole and we need to stand together at this time

MINISTRY AND MOB RESEARCH
PAYING MUCH RESPECT FOR IAN MACKEYE
