Paul Westerberg Comes In From The Ledge

Ira Robbins, Pulse!, August 1993

Independence Day, 1991. Lincoln Park, Chicago. One by one, the Replacements — what's left of 'em, anyway — hand their instruments off to their roadies, leaving them the honor of nailing the Mats' career coffin shut with a last-call rendition of "Hootenanny."

Total word count of piece: 2661
