I'm looking for this Mitchrock to sell him to other men
To sell him to other men at ten times the price at least
One: you lock the target
Two: you bait the line
Three: you slowly spread the net
And four: you catch the Mitchrock
The Replacements story is filled with what-ifs and near misses. Their legend, essentially, is that if the chips had fallen differently, they might have become a popular band and had success into the 1990s, like their friends and rivals R.E.M. What if they had played ball with their label? What if they hadn’t made so many enemies? What if they hadn’t been so ****ed up?
