- Played bass in the seminal punk rock band Minutemen, until his band mate 'D Boon' was killed in a traffic accident in December 1985.
- After Minutemen's demise, Watt (along with another Minutmen member George Hurley) resurfaced in the alternative rock band Firehose, which ceased gigging and recording in 1994.
- Minutemen's 1984 album "Double Nickels on the Dime" is considered a seminal work in the history of alternative and punk music, and also the US' best-selling album on an independent label.
- Alternative music? What's the alternative to music? Silence?
- It's hard to describe the mission, what makes me put almost everything else secondary. When I tour, I conk at people's pads. I play every day. I'm not using it as a means to a lifestyle. I don't really know what the mission is exactly except to do this as intense as I can. It's like being a sailor or something. Sometimes, it does feel as if I've been given orders, a bizarre spin on the minstrel or troubadour scenario, the town crier, the guy that goes between the towns to let other towns know about each other.
