When I was a College DJ in the 80's Husker Du was always in my rotation, along w/Violent Femmes, Mats, Agent Orange, Smithereens, Del Fuegos and many, many more - Bob Mould is iconic.
Funny. When I was a college DJ I remember absolutely hating Husker Du. But after looking them up now and relistening to their music I guess I was wrong. Plus I love all the old scenes of the Twin Cities in this video
I had a college show too. Husker Du, Meat Puppets, the Cure, Violent Femmes, The Smiths, REM were regular rotation then they'd let the DJ put in anything they wanted. I was a Clash, Bad Brains, The Police (B-sides deep tracks no hits ;), Fishbone, 24-7 Spyz, etc. Plus some industrial Skinny Puppy, Ministry mixed in for good measure.
LOVED being a college radio DJ. All of the above bands, plus Shriekback, the Damned, the Cramps, the Chameleons, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Dead Milkmen... I'm getting all nostalgic now.
The first rock'n'roll band I saw live (well the second, Christmas were the openers, they were cool, as well). May '87, Uptown theatre in Kansas City, I think.
I love Grant’s dance with the old woman. He once said that he doesn’t like people’s head banging or weird gestures, he likes people to dance in his shows. RIP Grant, may you Rest In Peace.

Mid 80's.... nothing but hair metal around. Then there's Husker Du. I can't believe this album came out in 1985. Way ahead of it's time. They were even before The Pixies. Wow.
Saw them at a small club called The Cubby Bear in Chicago 1985 right across from Wrigley Field loved it man and then some dumbass didn't like my hair I flipped them off he followed me to the 7-Eleven around my damn ass over with his car no problem good thing I was half drunk no injuries LOL
Famously the reason kim deal joined the band was answering a classified about a band asking for a female bassist who liked Husker Du and Peter Paul and Mary, Deal didn't know how to play bass but she fit every other criteria, so thats how that happened!
I was a dirty 25 yr old punk kid traveling by train from Portland to NY and was sitting outside the Chicago train station. A man that looked as if he had lived three lives of travel and partying approached me and struck up conversation about the patches of various bands I had sewn on my sweatshirt. I braced myself for yet another scam or person begging for money. But they introduced themselves and it was Grant. I was so ashamed for not being super familiar with him or his band because I was aware of their significance. He didn't really talk about Husker Du, but he was really sweet, and was just asking me about being a young punk (this was maybe around 2009) and what my life at shows in northern CA and Portland were like. When I'd ask about the band he'd give a few details but then steer the conversation elsewhere, with a ton of punk info. I guess I don't really have a point, I just wanted to share, that at that moment in time Grant made an impression on me. And I left feeling really stoked on life and proud of the life that I was living despite not always feeling that way.
That particular style of moustache was a somewhat common signifier of homosexuality around that time. Funnily enough, Norton was the only heterosexual guy in the band! (Mould is gay, and Hart is bisexual.)
I've watched Husker Du live and they had the most intense set I've ever witnessed. It go f'n loud. Bob Mould would play straight into his amp. Those guys did not tone down the intensity at all until Bob Mould announced that the drummer (Grant Hart) had herpes and they had to leave. It was early, too, when they were still sort of obscure. Less than 100 people. I'll never forget that show.
I love this song because it's so critical of the listener. so often I've found myself applying the lyrics to others but each time I do, I later feel I'm missing the point. this song has to be about the listener, because you're the only one who can really see that your 'head is in the clouds'.
The RRHoF hates mid-west bands. It doesn't matter how good their music was/is or the effect they had on music, the movers and shakers of the music industry loathe bands or musicians blue collar, working class mid-west bands. I would venture to say that without Husker Du, there would not have been a Foo Fighters. (And I really respect and like the Foo Fighters.)

None of these bands could ever be as influential as husker du because punk music isn't new anymore. But to say that the "scene is dead" or whatever washed up folks say is a farce.
Great song ! came out the year of my birth and just discovered it recently. It really reminds me of early Green Day stuff (gilman street days, 90-93) and I realise that GD would be nothing without Husker Du being their major influence.
Another big reason for them doing that song is that the setting for the "Mary Tyler Moore Show" is Minneapolis, and this is where Husker Du are from. So, it's a nod of sorts to their own city.
I graduated from hardcore punk to Husker Du and IRS era REM gradually in the mid 1980s until everything else sounded like greasy kid stuff. But I haven't listened to this in almost twenty years and it still sounds relevant and fresh - the video is timeless, yet ten years ahead of it's own time. And I only just found out what the bands name means! Thank God for the InterNets...
favorite song on my favorite husker record. Full disclosure: i may be biased, since I got into the band after Sugar (because Sugar existed when I was 14), and this is the song/record from which I think the sugar sound came. But whatever ... husker is a top 10 band.
This video got played at the end of a 120 Minutes episode when I was about 15. It was my introduction to Hüsker Dü and I was immediately hooked. I had taped that particular episode and watched this video over and over. Until I picked up Flip Your Wig I thought the MTM theme cover was just part of the song.
One of my all time fave bands. I bought ''Warehouse:Songs and Stories'' as soon as it came out in 1987. Already had their other albums,all on vinyl. I was 25. Had the lp sticker on a wall for several years. Great band and great times. Still play their lps over and over. Criminal that they didn't make it really big,same with The Replacements. Thanks for the posting.

That particular style of moustache was a somewhat common signifier of homosexuality around that time. Funnily enough, Norton was the only heterosexual guy in the band! (Mould is gay, and Hart is bisexual.)

I'm having difficulty imagining this cool song ever being on *_VH1_*
I'm usually late to music but never this late. WOW
