Grant Hart Lyrics

Grant Hart was the drummer and one of the singers for the classic college-rock band Husker Du. This song is obviously an expression of what Hart's music means to Ken Stringfellow and shows the irony that while "power trios with big-ass deals" (read: Nirvana) hit it big in the early 1990s, their obvious predecessors, like Husker Du and the Minutemen, languished in relative obscurity a decade before.

@Michial Speaking of that NW '90s era, Soundgarden has that song "My Good Eye Closed." Here, as Ken emphatically belts out, "I can see, I can see, I can see it all with my one good eye." Think this is as much a "power trio" diss to Nirvana and a later nod to Soundgarden?

A college-rock band? Surely you jest. Husker Du was/is more than a college band. I don't know where you live but you are incorrect.
