This book is fun for the juicy details about the Woman's tour in the 70s. I can't get the image of Chris and Martina going on a double date with Desi Arnaz Jr. and Dino Martin. I just wish they had pictures from the night.

Interesting but not revelatory. Most of the stories told are ones that I've already heard. Still waiting for a definitive history. The author, Jim Walsh, said in the epilogue that this isn't his last Replacements book, so there's hope.
