“Beyond my personal reasons for not looking back, a Husker Du reunion would surely tarnish the history of the band. It's the rare occasion when a reunion tour is close or equal to what a band looked, sounded, and felt like "back in the day." ...I've left Husker Du in the past. I'm not interested in diminishing whatever legacy exists just so people can say, "I saw Husker Du." If you have an original ticket stub dated 1979-1987, you saw Husker Du. If not, you missed out.”

“det svier, der hvor du lagde din hånd. som om du har sat dit aftryk i mit kød. og det er jo det du har. som ingen anden har du sat dit aftryk i mit kød. jeg er fuld af ar. jeg er dig ikke utaknemmelig. det hører til mit livs store oplevelser. det er uforklarligt. det er kemi. og jeg husker det hele som viljeløse handlinger, der dog var så fulde af vilje . til dit kød. dengang. lagenernes hvide stof i min knyttede hånd.”

“To any adopted person searching for help and support, I saw this: find people who really know and understand the adoption experience and stay away from people who think they know. Avoid like the plague those who are just interested in being a part of your reunion stories because it sounds like fun. Be open to professional counselling to understand and help process all the conflicting emotions you may feel so that your reunion can be the best possible experience; so that you, as an adoptee, can pass on to your children the joy in their arrival that you never felt was connected to your own.”

“I'll be back so soon you won't have time to miss me. Look after my heart I've left it with you”
