Grant Hart 1961-2017
Goddamn, this pisses me off. That's much too young.
And yeah, I know Hart didn't write this one, but it's my favorite Hüsker Dü song. So sue me.
for anyone interested, numero's "Savage Young Du" box set is still playable on NPR's First Listen. The Grant Hart documentary, Every Everything, is still streaming on Amazon Prime.
Husker Du's deranged (in a good way), ultra-intense version of the Byrds' "Eight Miles High", a magnificent and intense song to begin with, is still one of my favorite covers ever. R.I.P., Grant, and thanks.
