I distinctly recall riding my ten-speed to the Burnsville Center and pedaling home with by brand new album "Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash" under my arm. I remember loving the song "Johnny's Gonna Die." But goddamn that was a long time ago. Will I buy the new compilation? No. They were a great band, but they're long gone. Maybe it's cool, though, that some kids today can check 'em out and find out what all the fuss was/is about. Ah, the Replacements.

I'd expect a guy like you to care very little about what anonymous gossipers have to say...and btw, it's really okay for people to post anonymously - if you don't like it, change the policy.

They weren't pretentious enough. Goddamn, they were great. "Stink," "Hootenanny" & "Let It Be" still deliver the goosebumps to this day.<br /> <br /> Some of today’s hipsters probably don’t get the Replacements. They weren’t pretentious enough.

Because he once worked for a competitor? Because he used to beat City Pages on some good stories? Or do you think you should have signed your comment "I'm completely full of shit "?<br /> <br /> Another brave libel from an anonymous poster. Any reason you’d think that, just guessing?

The 'mats lyrcis are too accessible, and they really didn't give a shit about status or image or fashion. As a total ‘mats fanatic, I don’t think they’d appeal at all to the hipsters.
