The Replacements journey was one of the great if ultimately doomed and slightly sad journeys of the Eighties. Their torch was lcast aside in the gutter of Rock & Roll and picked up by Kurt Cobain and the others in Nirvana for their own brief journey. Even greater and even sadder and leading to a quite uneccessary, tragic and avoidable end.
I love much about The Replacements.Bit I wonder. Did they really need to drink quite so much. Drinking is fun but should it be seen as a religious quest. I'm not sure. There's time to put the bottle away or at least cut down and focus on things that matter. They did a lot of great and less great stuff, Some of it dowrnright sloppy. Let It Be is generally enough for me. It tells you all you need to know.
