The Replacements, "Kiss Me On The Bus"
Tim or Pleased to Meet Me? Which one you got?
Elizabeth Nelson on the reissue of Tim:
"Thus 'Tim' commences with a binary choice. The opening track is called 'Hold My Life,' and the decision is between fame—or at least a life-changing increase in notoriety—and something like a tactical retreat from the limelight. 'Time for decision to be made,' Westerberg intones hoarsely over a driving pre-chorus: 'Crack up in the sun / Or lose it in the shade.' A sentiment worthy of Jay Gatsby himself. By the end, the Replacements did a little bit of both."
Way back when I reviewed Trouble Boys, a band biography that's also worth checking out.
