I'd love to say I'm naturally perceptive when it comes to music and that when "Bastards of Young" by the Replacements came out in 1985, when I was a wee lass of 11, I was an instant fan.
I was an early adopter of alternative rock, thanks to living in LA and in airwave earshot of KROQ and to having an older sister. Still, I never heard this tune until I came across it on the soundtrack of the fantastic coming of age movie "Adventureland" (2009) which, with its standout performances by Kristin Stewart and Jessie Eisenberg, I highly recommend. The song is marked by the wistfulness we all sometimes experience, when we feel life has passed us by without us managing to properly live.
