Looked up their schedule, and they're gonna be playing the Boston Calling festival the first week of September. Trouble is, it's a three day festival, tons of bands, tix go on sale Mon., $75 for a single day, $150 for a three day pass, and the event website says they won't have a schedule of who's playing when until a few weeks before the thing takes place. Now what kind of BS sorta promotion is that?
I dunno if I really want to go anyway. I've seen Westerberg playing Replacements songs on his solo tours, and for all intents and purposes, that's what this is, only with Tommy along for the ride. I mean, Josh Freese and Minehan played with Paul on several of his solo tours, so really, how is this so special? It's still not really The Replacements. And I'm definitely not dropping $150 bucks just to go and see one day.
