Well goddamn. Tim Walz and Hüsker Dü.

Like, it's probably a better idea if he didn't do it, but if he came out on stage to "New Day Rising", I'd ...... I honestly have no idea what I'd actually dü, but by god that would sure be something.

Tim Walz digs The Replacements and Hüsker Dü. The latter's Bob Mould responds

Beto O'Rourke posted yesterday that he and US VP nominee Tim Walz are pals and share a love for Minnesota musicians. Sure, everyone likes Prince and Bob Dylan but apparently they're both fans of alternative rock pioneers The Replacements and Hüsker Dü.

Boing Boing

@historyofpunkrock did you see this Rolling Stone interview with Bob Mould of HüskerDü talking about Tim Walz?

"History is rhyming really fucking hard right now. It’s like, just listen to the chorus." is a great quote.

But tbh I thought this one was even better:

'I guess my first question to presumptive vice president Walz is, “So do you like the original Tim mixes or the new mix?”'

#walz #walzmentum
I don’t believe I ever changed my mind so quickly before in all my 87 years. From “Oh no!” to “ Obviously!” after 30 seconds of Walz speaking. He’s IT. He’s The Man! I am so excited, so stoked, so proud to begin campaigning for the amazing Harris Walz duo!
We are winning this !

Okay, time to re-fill the Blue Wave gas tank - with political contributions! (forgive the mixed metaphor.)

Today I did my top-up for MastodonForHarris for passing $475k #M4HTopUp . Half-a-million looks totally do-able, it's just a question now of how soon.

Plus there's the #Walzmentum #Walz love (donated through #MastodonForHarris , of course)

I think the only way that #HarrisForPresident could accelerate my giving is by setting up on Mastodon.
