I remember that interview on Joan Rivers’ short-lived series well. Bob seemed a bit nervous in the beginning but settled down. I was shocked that they were going to even be on a "mainstream" talk show. Kind of like when The Pogues appeared on SNL.
Grant Hart was out of his f*cking mind during that interview. I thought he was going to start licking the floor or barking like a dog. You could tell that they weren’t exactly getting along great at the time. They played "Could You Be the One?" which was their "hit" from Warehouse Songs & Stories and "She’s A Woman" with Grant on lead vocals.
What a great and underrated band they were. I don’t think I listened to anything my senior year in HS BUT Husker Du. People look back at the 80s as a wasteland music-wise but I’d give anything to see some of these classic post-punk bands get together to play some gigs. Husker Du would be at the top of the list (Dead Kennedys too).
