Music
A true rock-n-roll story in 100 words.
Years ago, I saw The Replacements for the first time. This was ‘the mats of legend — they were still drinking, etc.
That night, they were sober (mostly).
I was sitting in the balcony screaming “Skyway” very loudly — a pointless endeavor. To this day, I maintain that it is the loudest show I’ve ever seen.
For two days afterward, all of my conversations sounded like the Charlie Brown kids talking with adults on those cartoons.
To this day, I maintain that it is the best show I’ve ever seen.
By the next time I saw The Replacements; I had discovered earplugs.
