Episode 201 - Mike Leonard of Bleeding Hearts
Season Two is coming in hot! Keith and Rob get a visit from Mike Leonard, founder of Bleeding Hearts - the last band Replacement legend Bob Stinson was a member of.
Leonard and Bar None Records dusted off the recordings and have released one fine dirty rock album, Riches to Rags (which kinda describes Bob Stinson's career arc). Mike sheds some insight about living and working with one of the most iconic/tragic (take your pick) figures from the era.
Riches to Rags is just in time for Record Store Day!
