In my love-crossed 20's maybe only singing along with the Replacements "Unsatisifed" was more cathartic that singing/screaming/crying along with:
Old enough to have seen this when it was originally broadcast, and quite literally thought it was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen in my life.
Slim is the brother of Fuzzy Dunlop from The Wire
Too many things to say about Paul and the 'mats, and I've been saying those things for 30 years now (and gods willing, for at least 30 years hence), but here's one small thing on the power of Paul Westerberg.

The only Elvis Costello album I love more than this one is This Year's Model.
"I mean, how many horses had to die before they cancelled Luck?!? I should get at least that many!!"
Yup. I remember several of these on the radio growing up. Not just the aforementioned "Mr. Jaws," but the Watergate one, and a thing called "Convention '72" which at some point I had totally memorized.
