I’m going to take a moment out from politics to wish all the best to Slim Dunlap, long-time Twin Cities music fixture and guitarist for the Replacements, who suffered a stroke yesterday morning:

Dunlap performed with the Replacements from 1987 until their breakup in 1991, filling in for guitarist Bob Stinson after he left the group, and went on to release two solo albums, The Old New Me and Time Like This.

 

The title track for the latter release is serving as a bittersweet comfort for friends and fans reeling from the news of his illness this week.

Fingers crossed, here.
