Bob Mould: punk innovator, rock god, professional wrestling auteur?
I don’t know how I missed this a couple of months ago, but Bob (ex-Husker Du, ex-Sugar) was until recently a writer for World Championship Wrestling. (Other verifications of the same story.)
Is this real? Could Bob just be pulling our leg? I don’t think so. Check this 1996 interview with the man: “Q: Bob, if the music industry were to disappear tomorrow for some reason, what other career/interest would you pursue? A: Maybe something in graphics, teaching, pro wrestling, I don’t know.”
I know at least one Mould devotee reads this site — I welcome all interpretations of this turn of events. I have a feeling there’s a PhD in there somewhere.

I told you this months ago. You were not listening to me. You never listen to me.

Of course I don't listen to you. But I need more proof that you handed over dish. Show me the email.

It was during one our thankfully rare moments of spoken communication. Remember when you complained bitterly all night that members of Built to Spill were conspiring to keep you up past your strict 9 p.m. bedtime? Devoted crabwalk readers might not know that inside your Viking exterior beats the heart of a 95-year-old man.
