YES! You know, I went my whole life until about six years ago, when I read Trouble Boys, thinking it was "we are" instead of "wait on." But after so many years of people mishearing it (due to Paul intentionally swallowing the end of the word "wait" and the end of the word "on"), and Paul himself even singing the words "We are," as he does clearly on their SNL appearance, it wasn't a comment fight I was ready to have. Anyway, you're clearly a real 'Mats fan. Thanks so much for the comment!

I been schooled! I’ve been listening to The Replacements since 84 and have considered them my all time favorites for just about as long and don’t know half the things you seem to know about them and their songs. Most of your observations of the songs, lyrics, and particularly the song arrangement order was very insightful, much of which has escaped me over the 37 years I’ve been listening. Very observant, insightful and flat out funny. Nice work. My own favorite Replacements song? A ridiculous venture as so many are my favorites but just in the spirit of things: Sorry Ma: Shiftless When Idle Stink: Go Hootenanny: Mr Whirly Let It Be: Sixteen Blue ( although I Will Dare made me a fan) Tim: Left Of The Dial, Pleased To Meet Me: I Don’t Know, Don’t Tell A Soul: I Won’t All Shook Down: Someone Take The Wheel

"The ones, love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest And visit their graves on holidays at best The ones, love us least are the ones we'll die to please If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them"-This excerpt is really brilliant, I totally agree. And it sort of sound like a Keats poem. I am not sure if Westerberg meant that way, but in a cosmic way it´s an encounter of intergeneration romanticism.

Excellent video from an obvious true 'Mats fan. However, I have to make one correction about one of my favorite 'Mats songs you mentioned: Skyway. I'm not sure if you were joking, but you said that Skyway is literally about a skyway, which isn't true. I believe that there's a pretty clear narrative taking place in the lyrics. The first verse, the narrator is walking on a one way street while wearing a hat gloves to fend off the cold. Meanwhile, they see the "you" walking in the skyway above them. The narrator then spends their nights lying awake fantasizing about meeting the person. In the final verse, the narrator gets their wish because they see the other person walking down the one way. However, because the narrator decided to go up into the skyway that day, they're missing each other yet again. This is why I love Westerberg as a writer. He takes these simple images and stories and exposes fascinating themes and commentaries with his lyrics. Thanks for making this video, and I hope this helped deepen everyone's appreciation of a deceptively "pedestrian" song. :)

When I was a 2nd year in high school (1986?) I had nothing else to do and the Replacements were playing at a little roadhouse bar called Heartbeat in Oyster Bay, Long Island (NY). I didn’t own any of their albums at the time, but local radio station WLIR played them and a couple of the great tracks from their recent release Tim. This venue had the smallest stage- I’d seen numerous gigs there (the call, Ramones, fishbone, the church and so many others). The band seemed disheveled and ragged (probably drunk and low on sleep- I think they had a gig in NYC the previous night) and got up on that tiny stage and proceeded to rip our heads off. They launched into Bastards of Young and it was a real thrill to see that live in such an intimate venue. The recently issued For Sale live recorded at Maxwell’s in Hoboken captures that era well. Check it out! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Sale:_Live_at_Maxwell's_1986

It’s nice that this club scene hasn’t completely faded away, but it’s not quite like it was a few decades ago.

Hello there. You're absolutely right about the lyrics. You're also right that someone mentioned that about a week ago. This is what I replied to him: "I went my whole life until about six years ago, when I read Trouble Boys, thinking it was "we are" instead of "wait on." But after so many years of people mishearing it (due to Paul intentionally swallowing the end of the word "wait" and the end of the word "on"), and Paul himself even singing the words "We are," as he does clearly on their SNL appearance, it wasn't a comment fight I was ready to have." So, basically since that pronunciation has entered the lexicon among the majority, I'm just going with it. Thanks for the comment--and the kind words!

I beg to differ. Tommy Got his Tonsils out is the Mats' Floyd the Barber; and sloppy, fun songs like that one and Gary's Got a Boner and Black Diamond, serve to balance out the album in my opinion. I agree they're not for everyone. But I think they help to round out an accurate description of who they were as a band back then.

@@PopCultureGraveyard im all for quality over balance : they are a quantum step down from the high points (dare, 16 blue, A.Machine, Etc). Tim suffered the same fate. Juvenile humour act dud them a disservice imho.

@@PopCultureGraveyard I actually was HUGEST FAN like u & I literally bumped into Tommy at a Random neighborhood bar in Hollywood in 1995 when he was struggling without any band before Guns & Roses...& No one knew him but of course I recognized him Right away & was on that shut in a NY second!!! HaHaHa! We talked and drank till the bar closed & then it we took off together in a cab to his place 💕💕💕It felt like I was going home with ELVIS 🕺 LOL!! I was a HUGE HUGE Fan & had seen them at the Roxy a couple times in the 80s ...so I was on Cloud 9 beyond!!!! He had a cool little house with lots of Guitars & Basses & The NXT morning I left in a Cab in a Total daze!!! OMG I still LOVE THE REPLACEMENTS more than Ever🙏 I am a HUGE Ziggy Stardust fan ..Tommy looks like Bowie & that was just a HUGE FANTASY come true 💕 Have u ever seen them live when they were together?

@@michelebergman4336 Tommy definitely has that Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed-era Bowie look for sure! That sounds like a great night. So happy you got to connect on a personal level with him. I never go to see the 'Mats unfortunately. I did get to see Tommy live, however, when he was doing the LAMF tribute at Bowery Electric NYC a few years ago with Walter Lure, Wayne Kramer, Clem Burke, Jesse Malin, etc. I was right up in Tommy's face while he sang Born To Lose. Great night. Thanks for sharing your story!

Tim is a classic but it's mixed way too high. Wayyyy too trebley
