RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 913829598 LA English T1 Trouble boys : the true story of the Replacements A1 Mehr, Bob,, YR 2016 SN 9780306818790 0306818795 9780306822032 0306822032 9780306825361 0306825368 AB Written with the participation of the Replacement's key members, including reclusive singer-songwriter Paul Westerberg, bassist Tommy Stinson, and the family of late guitarist Bob Stinson, Mehr creates a deeply intimate and nuanced portrait that exposes the primal factors and forces-- addiction, abuse, fear-- that would shape one of the most brilliant and notoriously self-destructive groups of all time. He tracks the group as they rise within the early '80s American underground, chronicles the making of their albums, and shows how their addictions first came to define them and then nearly destroyed them.
