I first found out about Bob from Sugar. Tilted blew my face off. I was learning guitar at the time and it always seemed so unachievable to be able to play like him. Husker Du came soon after got me. Then I found out he was a gay man and he became the ONLY true idol I’ve ever had. He was ever so important to me as a teenager. Knowing there was someone out there who looked and sounded like him got me through those difficult first years of realisation. Thanks Bob.

The moment he describes meeting Grant, and then describes Grant telling him that he knows someone who plays bass... that's some powerful stuff that ultimately and literally changed the course of rock and roll. Just crazy that it is captured here.
-
This man literally changed my life
-
I've had a crush on this man for 35 years.
-
Had a punk friend introduce me to 'Zen Arcade' in early '86 while I was in West Germany and it was amazing. I was obsessed. Incredibly harsh blended with melodic and these lyrical vignettes. Hüsker Dü were perfectly framed in a moment where music could still stretch into anything the musicians could imagine.
-
Saw Husker DU at a small club The cubby Bear in Chicago and 85. I don't have to say it because you already know it, that show kick ass fantastic great memories for me
-
Oh he's still alive, thank all the gods
-
"Divide and Conquer " is the most life affirming song and finest composition in music history.
-
He comes across as very content which is great to see. Love his stuff.
-
He's very gracious
-
A towering genius. The very best there is.
-
His generation was extremely blessed. By 1994 getting in a band was next to impossible and music was over. Nirvana wouldn't have made it if Hüsker Dü hadn't signed to a major label 4 yrs earlier.
-
A total hero and a wonderfully open interview - was amazing to see him play Cardiff in 2016 (Patch The Sky tour).
-
A True Giant of Sound. Hero.
-
Bob is the best.
-
Very cool my great grandparents and grandparents also ran a small grocery/general store in Western Pa. Never knew that about Bob.
-
I’m blessed to see sugar live in Manchester UK, and they blew my face ofF! Copper blue blew me away and since then discovered husker du and loved every thing Bob does! I love nirvana but Bob mould total idol. True LEGEND!!
-

-
I've been blessed to see sugar twice n Bob 3 times live, absolutely fkn brilliant!
-
Always amuses me how he finds a little joke in something and the interviewer never laughs. I totally relate, Bob.
