So many great bands have come from the Midwest over the years, especially from the early 1980's. A list of those bands would be long and impressive. One fine example is, of course, Soul Asylum, hailing from Minneapolis. Along with Replacements, Husker Du, Suburbs and others, they helped define the sound of mid-America in the 1980's for me. Many of these bands are no more, but Soul Asylum continues to release new music periodically, and tour. The cast of characters has changed many times over the years, but Dave Pirner and whoever may be on stage with him, always put on a great show. I thought it was fitting that they payed homage to another Midwest band from a couple decades earlier with the cover of MC5's "Looking At You" (Don't get me started on Michigan bands...).
