Re: Re: Re: Grant (G.W.) from Go-Betweens is gonna play in heaven

That's so incredibly sad. Grant was a gifted writer and a sweet soul, and he will be missed by his friends and fans.

If you're looking for a good place to start listening to his music, get 16 Lovers Lane by the Go Betweens and marvel at the sublime elegance of the writing of Grant McLennan and Robert Forster.

RE: Grant MacLennan R.I.P.

Amen... The dB's shared a bill with the Go-Betweens in 1981 at the Ritz in NYC. I played one or two gigs in a subsequent band with Robert Vickers, who in 1997 or so recruited me to play a few songs with Forster and MacLennan at Fez in NYC. A memorable time was had by me, and hopefully by Grant. I can't say I knew him, but he was a very talented songwriter. Safe travels, Grant.
