Billy Ruane, legendary impresario of the 90s Boston indie music scene, promoted shows and inspired cult-like followings of bands by the likes of The Lemonheads, Dinosaur Jr., Elliott Smith, Pixies, Superchunk, Buffalo Tom, Pavement, and Sonic Youth. He set new standards for the gracious treatment of musicians. But underneath Billy’s exuberant cartoon-like demeanor and Harvard education, was the pain of a man with deep trauma. He also struggled with bipolar disorder and substance abuse, and was confounded by the weight of an endless supply of money.
