   Hüsker Dü has always been one of those you’re-supposed-to-like-this-band bands, like Gang of Four or Radiohead, that I just never saw the appeal of. I appreciate that the book picked their last album where they’d apparently softened up quite a bit, and I suppose I liked this more than “Zen Arcade”, although I don’t remember much about it other than it being noisy and abrasive and sucking, but even at their poppiest, Hüsker Dü aren’t poppy enough for me.

   I mean, I’d be angry if I lived in Minnesota too, but you don’t have to put that evil on me Ricky Bobby. Just go back to your igloo and drink your Molsen with the Gundersons and the Olaffsens and say “you betcha” a bunch. Don’t make a bunch of cranky aggro albums that I have to listen to in order to be considered a true music fan.
