I GUESS YOU COULD SAY WE'RE A SLOPPY ROCK & ROLL BAND THAT TRIES TO STRADDLE THE LINE BETWEEN COMEDY AND TRAGEDY: If everyone is going to be talking about the new best-of plus two album from The Replacements, I suppose we ought to as well. I didn't really know about them at the time, but once I hit college and was able to get into them, wow. They understood something essential and primitive about the fun and promise of rock & roll, and they translated it into a heck of a lot of great music.

We start and end today on the same theme: massive talent + drug abuse = too many questions about what might have been.
