NO REPLACEMENT FOR REPLACEMENTS?
Guitarist Bob Stinson is no longer with the Replacements, who will evidently continue as a three-piece. As we go to press, the ’Mats are at work on their next album for Sire—they’ve returned to Minneapolis’s Blackberry Way Studios, the site of their earlier recordings for Twin/Tone, including the masterful Let It Be.
But now for the real news: Eric Heuerman, our roving He’p Desk correspondent, reports that—in an episode of Divorce Court in midDecember—a case centered around a man and his wife who owned a “men’s exotic underwear store.” Nothing strange about that, right? Well, for those of you who missed this media highlight, the owner of the store was named “Paul Westerberg,” a male model in the “plot” was named “Tommy Bob Stinson,” and a last-minute key witness for the beleagured Westerberg wife (note to Westerberg: her name was “Anita”) was someone called “Chris Mars.” In the words of our correspondent: “Is this their new video? Judge Keene a closet fan? TV as an artform? What gives?”
More on all this as we sober up.
