Their legend is entrenched in rock history: Three neighborhood friends form a band in a Minneapolis basement, recruit a 12-year-old brother to play bass, and become one of the most critically acclaimed rock acts of the 1980s. Along the way there's comedy, tragedy -- and a lot of beery folklore. Longtime Twin Cities music critic Jim Walsh joins us to share his oral history, "The Replacements: All Over But The Shouting."

The anti-band. Every time it seemed they were ready to 'break-out' they always would find a way not to. Whether it was shaving off there eyebrows, or making a one shot video, to falling down drunk at a show. I've seen them many times and they could be the worst act you've ever seen or the best depending on how much they drank that night.
