I admit, I was only vaguely familar with The Replacements, but I've enjoyed learning more about them. Love "Here Comes a Regular"!

What a beautiful essay. Jim has REALLY captured how I felt about The Replacements and their music back when I was young. Thanks so much for sharing that.

Glad you dug it. I feel like his take is really human. And I love that some music fans think he couldn’t possibly love The Replacements this much since he fronts a hardcore bro band. He’s a thinky dude and, IMO, a talented writer. Also a cool person.
