I was the lead guitarist on the right dressed like fat Elvis in a Black Karate Ghi. It’s nice that folks that come to our shows tape things, because usually we’re over-served and can’t remember what went on. The only show we’ve done sober was a gig at a maximum security prison in southern PA. We’ve been covering that tune since 1992. You’d think we’d have the chord changes down by now……..

The woman introducing the video told me her name was Irene, or Kelly, or Lisa…..I forget…anyway, she kept trying to get us to play that Zuzu’s Petals video that she was obsessed with. Kept saying how beautiful Laurie was. After the aftershow party, we kept teasingly calling Jodi “Paul”.
As far as wearing that dress, somebody *cough PZ cough* told me that we were dressing up as our favorite mats song for the party, and I fell for it. Thanks for pointing and laughing. I haven’t liked that song since. I’m just happy that I didn’t go with my first choice, and can still listen to Silver Naked Ladies.

Blasty, I still have those pants though I’ve grown my afro out since then. And was that a young Rachel Dagmar I saw introducing that video? The way she was longingly looking at Jodi there reminded me of the after party – remember how hot and heavy they were and how you wore that dress and told everyone you were just “pretending” to be Bob? Ahhhh, to be young again…good times.

Sloppy, out-of-tune, missed changes… just like a good Replacements cover should be. That bar sorta reminds me of a bar I used to frequent in the 90s.

Ah, yeah, I remember that night well. Westernerd get-together at our girl Jodi’s ranch, back when she was blonde and Zook was a tall, thin black man in yellow pants. I’ll never forget videotaping the whole thing, and then blackmailing them the following morning.

Good times, good times….

It’s a good. But my favorite mats clip BY FAR is still:

I can’t not watch it if I start it.
