I don't know how regularly I'll publish things like this, but I think this is an important guy to talk about.
Steve Foley passed away this weekend in Minneapolis.
Foley was the drummer for the Replacements after original drummer Chris Mars quit the band. His tenure with the band was brief, and produced no recorded output, but he was undeniably a part of one of the most important bands in modern rock history.
I'd imagine that most readers of this blog are already fairly familiar with the Replacements, but in the event that you aren't, get yourself familiar with them. Pretty much every band I listen to post-1984 owes a debt to the 'Mats.
Rest in peace Mr. Foley.
