Frankie Bones
Frankie Bones is an American techno disc jockey from New York City. He is best known for bringing raves to the United States after playing at a party in the UK during 1989.
He got his first inspiration from his fathers vast record collection after his father was murdered. He was offered a gig to play for 5,000 people in England after some promoters heard some of the records Frankie had produced. Arriving at the event, the projected attendance had gone through the roof and Frankie played for 25,000 people as the sun came up. Being profoundly moved by the experience, he brought it back to Brooklyn with his series of "Stormrave" parties.
At one of these parties, a fight broke out and Frankie got on a speaker, screaming at the fighters "If you don't start showing some peace, love, and unity, I'll break your fucking faces". With the subsequent discussion of this event on the Usenet newsgroup alt.rave, Respect was added to the three virtues Frankie was speaking of, creating the hippie-esque raver code of PLUR: Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect.
