Waking up to news Grant Hart is gone. I can't even *understand* his drumming, but his classic melodicism was a massive inspiration. RIP.

NOOOO! Goddamn it. Songs like 'Green Eyes' and 'Flexible Flyer' were the stuff that got me through high school. Thank you Grant. RIP. https://t.co/R3DKVcuA93

His drumming was so incredible I feel like a fraud when we play Husker Du songs. AND he could write & sing like thishttps://t.co/aDaGE6QuU4
