RIP Slim Dunlap

[jimmyjazz 47011]

Taking Bob Stinson's spot in The Replacements wasn't easy, but Slim pulled it off.  Some twelve years after a debilitating stroke, Slim passed away today.

he was a replacement replacement? 

[jimmyjazz 47011]

Yup.

Dammit.   His two solo albums from the early to mid 90s were criminally underrated.

Hell of an MC.

Slim toughed it out a long time after his stroke.  RIP

He was great in Blazing Saddles.

Saw him with The Replacements in ‘87 shortly after he joined, then later in ‘91. He was great. R.I.P.

Slim was the man.  Don't Tell a Soul and All Shook Down always got a bad rap, but there are so many great songs on those records, and Slim was a major part of it.  I can't imagine we even get those last few Replacements records without him being (kind of) a senior influence.

I played my final high school football game in his hometown of Plainview.  CSB.

That was Slim Whitman.
