Literally 5 feet down the block, brothers Boogie and Antwan Johnson, who were walking home, also had a story of violence to tell.

Y'know. As a young boy, I hated my name. I wondered what had possessed my mother to name me "Antwan." I mean, it's spelled "Antoine", for Pete's sake.

But then, my baby brother came along and she named him "Boogie". I came to love my name.

That's a great name. Of course he was destined to become a bluesman.
