Color Me Finally Obsessed

It looks like the documentary about The Replacements, Color Me Obsessed, is finally coming out:
Directed by Gorman Bechard and the product of more than 140 interviews, the Kickstarter-funded film is billed as “the potentially true story of the most influential, always drunk, self-destructive, and yet frighteningly brilliant rock band of all time as told through the eyes of their fans, followers and fellow musicians.”

Among those interviewed for the doc: Grant Hart and Greg Norton of Hüsker Dü, Tommy Ramone, Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, Craig Finn of The Hold Steady, Jesse Malin, the Goo Goo Dolls and more.

The filmmakers announced Thursday that “Color Me Obsessed” will be screened to the public for the first time on March 26 at the Florida-based film festival. Its only other announced showing is April 2 at the Wisconsin Film Festival in Madison, Wis.
I like Rabid's point about them knowing Hank as well as the Pistols:
