JUST BE YOU

The Replacements were on TV late last night. Of course I missed it, but I pretty much knew it would be online in no time. So I checked it out today and, after viewing it, got the warm and fuzzies. That I will cop to. My most partying years were spent with the Replacements as part of the soundtrack, during their most partying years, and my circle of friends back then (and still today), included several transplants from the Midwest. It was just a big fucking beer brat gala over here.


The Replacements were the perfect band for the time. They looked sloppy and played like they didn't give a shit. That's not to say that they weren't good musicians. They were, but more then anything, after throwing everything else out, they were the Replacements. They seemed to have adopted the same salvation as everyday Joes. What hustlers, scholars, and jocks see as the losers conciliation, and others see beyond judgement, "Well you can't be that, just be the best [subject's name] there is." The Replacements weren't the best band, or the loudest, most wasted, or most brilliant. But, on any given night, they were the best damn Replacements in all the land. Hell yeah to that.
