“The Main”, Grant Hart

This way: The Main

Here is one of my favorite songwriters. Grant Hart (March 18, 1961 – September 13, 2017) was an American musician, best known as the drummer and co-songwriter for the alternative rock and hardcore punk band Hüsker Dü. After the band’s breakup in 1988 he put out this album, “Intolerance” as well as a fantastic EP, “2541”. He battled addictions for a large part of his life and this song about heroin is about as good as it gets. 

Hart died on September 13, 2017 of complications from liver cancer and Hepatitis C. A sad loss, too young.
