Another write-up on the curiously amazing history of music out of Minneapolis in the 80s (including, unbelievably, Lipps Inc of Funkytown fame!). REM's Peter Buck on the genius of Bob Stinson:

As far as I could tell, Bob went his entire career with the Replacements without knowing the names of any of the songs. He didn’t know what key they were playing in when the song started and didn’t know what key they were in when the song ended, but he sure could play some great stuff in the middle.
