Ben Kingsley Pays Tribute to Minor Threat

Maybe it has something to do with the 25th anniversary of their breakup. Or maybe Sir BK (a true British Knight) is a big fan of eary-80s DCHC. Either way, this is one of the oddest videos I’ve seen in some time, and I don’t say “odd” with any positive or negative connotations. It just is that. Odd.

Coincidentally, I’ve been listening to Minor Threat nearly non-stop the last few weeks. And my conclusion is that after my, what, fourth rediscovery of these guys, I’m pretty much convinced that they are a legitimate American treasure.

Apparently the good people at Mean Magazine feel the same way. Thanks for that, guys.
