The best rock n' roll band you never heard..
27 March 2011
Absolutely thrilled that this film came to Tampa first. Interviews with Jesse Malin (another personal favorite singer and songwriter of mine) Tommy Ramone and close friends of the Replacements gives you a different view of the band. They are personal heroes to many but they were just normal guys trying to have fun. In the music world people starve for attention and push their demos on record labels but not these guys. My favorite part of the film was where it is said that Paul insists "Track#1" on "Hootenanny" be played in a club as a first listen of the new album by the fans and DJ. That was just wonderful. And if you don't know why, well you need to. Taking my fiancé with me was great. We both have different tastes in music. (He-newer metal, Lamb of God etc..) Came in pretty uninterested but left asking me questions all the way home for the two hour drive. Now that is a good documentary! You can try and push The 'Mats but it isn't needed. People will always find their way.
