This day in music history.

February 18, 1995, At the age of 35 Bob Stinson (guitar) from The Replacements died from a drug overdose. The Replacements were famous for their drunken, chaotic concerts. When they played on Saturday Night Live the band was shitfaced drunk and barely able to stand up, they had to be bleeped because the lead singer said fuck. Bob had been fired from the band in 1986. Stinson was known to be extremely unpredictable on stage and would sometimes play wearing skirts, trash bags, or completely naked.
Hold My Life by The Replacements
Well, well, well I, found it's my life
Down on all fives
Let me crawl
If I want, I could dye...
my hair
Time for decisions to be made
Crack up in the sun, lose it in the shade
Razzle, dazzle, drazzle, drone,
time for this one to come home
Razzle, dazzle, drazzle, die,
time for this one to come alive
and hold my life until I'm ready to use it
Hold my life because I just might lose it
Because I just might lose it
Well, well, well, anyone could tell,
pass it off, a lucky shot
Ooh, they do hate 'em, someday soon,
face em
Razzle, dazzle...
