Oh, forgot to post an article link that mentions the reading and Grant: On Monday night at Avid Reader bookstore, one subject sure to come up is the late Grant McLennan, Forster's fellow songwriter in the Go-Betweens and Kilbey's close friend. McLennan also lost his father early in his life. "As soon as we looked at each other up close, we sort of had a bit of a man-love thing going on," Kilbey says. "We became enamoured of each other, but there was a lot of joking and irony around that. "Grant would always ask me to play some Church songs.
