'He was a catalyst'

"To me, Chris Osgood (leader of The Commandos) is probably the most important rock person in Twin Cities music history. He was a catalyst and he invented something; he made it cool to be a rocker AND a smart guy. And that's what he bred, directly or indirectly. Paul Westerberg, Steve Almaas, Gary Louris, Steve Kramer, Chan Poling, Mark Freeman, Danny Murphy, Dave Pirner, Grant Hart, Bob Mould and countless others ... I think local musicians today who've never even heard The Suicide Commandos owe them a great debt." -- Peter Jesperson
