Loved this. My first Replacements album was “Tim,” so that will always be my go-to.

As for Sam Kinisin…gone much too soon. I still remember a line from his act after we bombed Libya in ‘86 (‘87?). The French had not allowed us to fly over their airspace from England, making the trip for the pilots way longer than it should have been. During the raid we “accidentally” dropped one right by the French embassy. Kinisin recounts this and ends with “maybe our aim would have been better IF WE’D HAD MORE SLEEP!!
