The drummer for Husker Du lived with his mom

Grant Hart may still live with his mom. One of my friends (who runs a music store in the Twin Cities) tells an apocryphal story of the day Grant Hart's mom came into his store to buy guitar picks on the eve of a trip, by her son, to perform at the Experience Music Project in Seattle.

No it doesn't count, because [Britney] DOESN'T PLAY ROCK!

Warn Defever from HNIA lives in his mum's house. His folks live elsewhere tho.

yup, Grant still lives with family members.

Ron Asheton's mom lives at his house(or vice versa, i guess).

Paul Westerberg was still living at home for a while even after the Replacements got signed to Sire.

Bryn Jones lived with his parents up till his death..... I gave my condolences to his mother the day after he died - she had no idea that so many people knew her son's music!

The Syd Barrett thing isn't true. I think he lives in his mother's house which led to the rumor that he lives with his mother. But she's actually dead and he lives on his own.

I wonder how long it took him to realize she'd died.

Ron Asheton lives in his mum's house. I've been there and everything. He was going to give me a haircut, but we all got too drunk.

"For the record Pete Stride from the Lurkers had always lived with his mum. He was also proud at never having had a 'proper job'. Ever.
I would have thought that been in The Lurkers since 77/78 constitutes real graft."

Well, he did have a couple of years off in '80-'82 (apart from a couple of gruelling weeks recording The New Guitars album with John Plain of The Boys, of course) and again between '84 and '87.

No wonder he felt he had to pack it all in 5 or 6 years ago - the hectic pace must have been getting too much for him.

Syd did live in the basement while his mother lived...she passed sometime in the 80's i believe...his sister lives somewhere nearby and looks in on him and his gardening.
