By Jim DeRogatis, Greg KotThe Story of The Replacements & Mission of Burma in the Studio
By Jim DeRogatis, Greg KotHosts Jim and Greg talk with journalist Bob Mehr about his book Trouble Boys, which is all about the Minneapolis rock band The Replacements. While they never had a huge commercial hit, The Replacements have a devoted fanbase and a fascinating backstory. Mehr shares details about the band’s fear of success, self-sabotage and more. And then Jim and Greg revisit their 2006 interview with post-punk pioneers Mission of Burma. The band talks about returning to the stage after a long hiatus, and they perform live in the studio!
