The Replacements are reportedly planning to record a new album, their first since 1990's All Shook Down.
The reunited Minneapolis group, fronted by Paul Westerberg, even have a bunch of new songs ready for the projected release, according to Rolling Stone.
Two titles that Westerberg revealed are "Are You In It For The Money?" and "Dead Guitar Player", perhaps a reference to the group's original lead guitarist, Bob Stinson, who died in 1995.
In 1983, I picked up a copy of a book called Stick, on a whim. It was written by someone I hadn't heard of previously: Elmore Leonard, who died in August. The book was brilliant and turned me into an addict.
