Husker Du(de)
Former Husker Du Bassist Greg Norton now owns and operates his own restaurant--the aply named THE NORTON'S-- in Western Wisconsin (just over the river from Red Wing, MN); of which an assorted gaggle of extended family and I dined this past weekend. Everything was great (the food, service, ambience, Greg's handlebar 'stache, et cetera) but I couldn't help but be slightly disappointed that there weren't items on the menu named after some of his former bands songs/albums; like:
Candy Apple Gra(v)y
New Day Raisins
59 Times the Pain Perdu*
and so on.
Y'know what I mean?
No?
Not that I want the place to come off as a Mom/Pop Hard Rock Cafe or anything remotely like that...
Ah well...call me a recovering fanboy.
