There is a tenuous minutemen connection, their last tour before d boon died was opening for REM, during which the minutemen would sometimes close their set by covering "the red & the black". They closed out the tour by joining REM onstage in the encore for d's last performance ever, a cover of television's "see no evil". Then they got back to home to find that BOC lyricist Richard Meltzer had written lyrics for them too: http://hootpage.com/hoot_spielgushermeltzerminutemen.html
