I still think it's weird that he asks Mr. Tambourine Man, the guy playing the least melodic instrument, to perform a song for him.

#OnThisDay , Jan. 18, 1986. Host: Harry Dean Stanton. Musical guest: The Replacements. Quite possibly the booziest episode ever, as both Harry and The Replacements spent most of the day drinking together. After these performances, The Replacements would be "banned" from SNL.

Steve was such a good, caring, and funny guy. I will always treasure the night in ‘99 when he took me to Second City to see a show. I walked into the Electrical kitchen at the agreed upon departure time and he looked at my head, smiled and said, “Your hair is peak Mellencamp.” ❤️
