Indeed, very sad news. Have seen Go-Betweens several times and and talked to
Grant on several occasions, and he was an wonderful person... :(((((

---------------------- MENSAGEM ORIGINAL ----------------------
I'm sure I'm not the only person here who listens to the Go-Betweens, so I
thought I'd mention for anyone who hasn't heard: on Saturday, Grant
McLennan died in his sleep at his home in Brisbane. He was just 48 years
old.

This one really hits home for me. I came to the Go-Betweens late--first
heard "Streets of Your Town" on the radio in 1988--but they soon became
one of my favorite bands. Since then I've spent many joyful hours
listening to, singing, and playing McLennan's songs (both those he wrote
for the Go-Betweens and his solo work, which is as good if not better than
what he did with the band). They're songs of simple beauty that have
never gotten old for me. Sadly, though, there won't be any more.

Goodbye, Grant, and thank you.

- John
