Not too unexpected for Rick Rubin, since he was in a band called Hose who sought to become the east coast's answer to Flipper, and Flipper is a west coast punk/HC icon, arguably as important as a stylistic influence as anyone on SST Records in the early 80's, and although Hüsker Dü was Midwest, just being on SST made you iconic on the west coast, so that's basically no more than one degree of separation there between Rick Rubin's favorite band circa 1982 and Hüsker Dü.
