Enough of the homophobic comments. What's the big deal? At the end of the day Husker u are hardcore's answer to the Beatles.

does anyone seriously give a shit if he or anyone for that matter is gay in 2009? husker du were amazing and as a brit i'm totally gutted that they weren't one of ours. lol ps ive booked chartered trips for my funeral! best track ever in the whole of rockn roll

With all the driving in the states we don't really sleep...we eat speed.

I'm a gay man. Was just listening to "File Under Easy Listening" that I've owned since It's release in the early nineties. Decided to surf me some Bob Mould on YT. And low and behold, what are some of the first comments I see before the praise?.... The "OMG he's gay and I'm gonna be sick" crap! For those focused on the latter...check the dictionary for "Insecurity" and "Fair Weather Fan"..... Better yet - Just look in the mirror.

Husker Du utterly kicked ass. I too can't believe that anyone could even think that it's an issue who Bob Mould chooses to go to bed with, except inasmuch as now that he's more upfront about it, he seems to be happier - and good for him. His music has helped me so much in my life that all I want for him now is that he has a great life. If he keeps on making good stuff, so much the better, but there's already so much that I'm not worried.

How come unattractive males looks so much better with age? Mould looks fucking amazing these days.

[TheInvisibleCollege]

He's so gay.

And also fucking awesome.

Thanks Bob! Was in bands in Minneapolis, and there are 1000's of bands there now playing all types of music...Husker Du kinda paved the way for alt bands there...I thought the scene was fantastic

@zeit69 true. but i like his acoustic stuff too. i mean i've got hearing problems just from listening to every single recording in all his incarnations the du, sugar, and solo that Bob has put out. notice the way people genaralize about how the great electric players play acoustic cos they're gettin' on. it's cos they've given their hearing up for us like Townsend for example.

[jacotango]

i won't buy into the homophobic stuff much, but think of this homophobs ( as any one knows homophobs are in fear of their own latent gayness) : if not for Bob there'd be no revival of the indie/alt alternative scence that could probably rewind to the Velvets. the du pre-ceeded early REM, then Nirvana, etc. and got NO recognition for blowing all those disgusting 'choose life' hair bands off the music scene. the man is owed a debt of gratitude.
