Episode 328: Episode 328 - Scott McCaughey discussed Young Fresh Fellows "The Men Who Loved Music"
Growing up in the Northwest, the Young Fresh Fellows were our Replacements.\xa0 Our Big Star.\xa0 Our "fill in the blank for the band that never got the due they deserved."\xa0 They were an American Band that just played some good time rock 'n roll.\xa0 And, Scott McCaughey was the driving force for the band.\xa0 He's done alright for himself along the way...being a part of R.E.M. for years, The Minus 5, The Baseball Project.\xa0 Scott is a legend. \xa0
So, when I had a chance to be self indulgent in discussing both baseball (based on the Baseball Project's latest record) AND "The Men Who Loved Music" with Scott....well...I think you can probably tell that I was super pumped to have the opportunity. \xa0 We dig through the stories behind the songs on the album...and relive a little of that time period in the '80s (shout outs to PLU, Amy Grant, The Fastbacks, Dave Niehaus and more).\xa0 Even if you're not familiar with Scott or this band, I think you'll enjoy the conversation. \xa0
