Tim Yohannon
Tim Yohannon, born 1946, died April 3, 1998 in Berkeley, California, California of cancer, was the founder of Maximum Rock and Roll, a zine documenting the punk scene around the world. As the zine became popular and profitable, Yohannon donated those profits to zines and collectives, even as he continued working in the Lawrence Hall of Science. He gathered a number of like-minded partisans for the burgeoning genre and established a number of collectives in the DIY spirit, such as 924 Gilman, Blacklist Mailorder, and the Epicenter community center.
