This is a pretty good list for him. Regarding the covers, the Replacements were liked friends of yours in a band covering songs you knew and wanted to cover while hanging around in the basement of a friend's house where you could sneak beers downstairs while they played (does that make sense?).

Funny how simple F-Bomb, sharing your "adult refreshments" with the shows host, Harry Dean Stanton & Bob Stinson splitting his pants and showing his butt can piss of the corporate censors.

Know who's not a fan? Charlton Heston. If you've ever seen the Paul Westerberg appearance 12/4/1993 closing scene, Charlton seems confused standing next to Paul and doesn't thank them in his closing monologue, Paul then turns and coughs in to the palm of his hand, turns and reaches out and gives old Charlton a nice hand shake, phlegm and all.
