In an otherwise excellent article about First Avenue in the New York Times Nov. 15, David Carr got a lyric from Bastards wrong (though he tells a good story):
THE ARTS/CULTURAL DESK | November 15, 2004, Monday
First Avenue Is Dead (Long Live First Avenue!)
Late Edition - Final , Section E , Page 1 , Column 3
By DAVID CARR
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 12
... during a Replacements concert, the Scandinavian-inflected crowd changed a chorus, "We are the sons of nowhere," to a shouted, "We are the sons of Norway"
----------------
Now I've heard that "Sons of Norway" before (it's a real organization, with a headquarters building spitting distance from the Uptown Bar in MPLS). But has anyone else ever heard "sons of nowhere"?
The Skyway site has it as "sons of no one." If you Google "replacements" and "sons of nowhere" you get two hits, both related to this New York Times article. If you Google "replacements" and "sons of no one" you get 320 hits, like every lyrics page imaginable (which probably all lift from each other, or from Skyway, but still).
I'm personally outraged and am going to try to get a correction. The Times did run a correction for getting the year wrong on the release date of Mono, so a guy can dream.
