Could it be? Could The Replacements be reuniting this year? Gosh, I hope so.
Ever since discovering “Bastards of Young” and “Alex Chilton“, I have a new-found respect for the band that I heard so much about growing up, but never listened to. Didn’t they have the greatest videos? They set the precedent for the “fuck you” videos. pearl jam eat your heart out! Perhaps if I was a teenager in the early 80’s, I would have listened to them much earlier on, but alas, my passion for music begun later in the early 90’s. If the flannel shirts in my closet could speak, oh, the stories they could tell. “This one time, at a pearl jam concert…”. Wow, two pearl jam mentions in one post. Awesome.
I’m sure NYC would welcome The Replacements with open arms, perhaps with a show down at St. Marks Place?
