Episode 16: Trouble Boys, The I Don't Cares, and Leonard Cohen

During my hiatus, I finished reading Bob Mehr’s book on the Replacements, Trouble Boys.  Considering they are my favorite band, I read this book with both excitement and trepidation.  Will my heroes live up to the legends I have in my hand?  I also discuss Wild Stab by The I Don’t Cares which is new band featuring Paul Westerberg and Juliana Hatfield.  Finally, I discuss how I came to love Leonard Cohen.
