The Replacements: Just dreamy

I was jolted awake out of a dream the other morning. That otherwise common occurrence was made memorable by the dream -- I was dreaming about THE REPLACEMENTS. The funny thing is, I was never consciously a big "MATS" fan back in the day. I was too much of an anglophile, I guess. Subconsciously it must have been a different story. I think the MINNEAPOLIS band are the only real-life combo I have ever dreamt about. I just sat outside listening to "STINK: 'KIDS DON'T FOLLOW' PLUS SEVEN." Today is cold and cloudy and seems perfect for the Mats. Maybe that's why I dream about them.
