* The influential alternative group The Replacements were banned from the
show due to their behavior after they appeared on the show on January 18,
1986 to promote their first album with Sire Records, Tim. When it came time
for them to perform their first number, "Bastards of Young," they were
intoxicated and several cast members were unsure whether they could perform.
Lead singer Paul Westerberg would further aggravate circumstances when he
yelled "fuck" to the crowd during "Bastards of Young". The band went on to
perform one more song, "Kiss Me on the Bus".

Note: In subsequent rebroadcasts of this episode, the "fuck" is censored out
of "Bastards of Young." Lead singer Paul Westerberg returned as a solo
musical guest and Bassist Tommy Stinson is featured on a playbill during
commercial breaks during the most recent season.

Not quite accurate, though: Paul didn't yell 'fuck' to the crowd. When
Bob's solo came up, he said to Bob, "Come on, fucker"...

I remember we were having a party at the house we were renting. I was 20 and
loaded. I managed to convince a very cute girl into my room and we were
laying on the bed watching the show and drinking Henry Weinhard's Private
Reserve and fooling around. The mats came on and to me it was amazing.

She looked over at me and said, "These guys suck"

The relationship was doomed from the get go.

This might be old news around here, but if not yet posted -- Saw new film
"The Mysteries of Pittsburgh" tonite at Seattle Film Festival, cool
adaptation of Michael Chabon's first novel with Sienne Miller, Mena
Suvari, Nick Nolte. There's a scene in a bar (it's set in 1983) where the
band plays "God Damn Job" by The Replacements. Good version.

Afterwards the director said it looked good for a general release this
fall.
