"A big town's got its losers, a small town's got its vices." Those lyrics from the Replacements' song "Answering Machine" strongly resonated Friday night at First Avenue, when the small-town-cliquish Twin Cities music scene came together in a big way to celebrate its most legendary losers -- with a vice or two thrown in for good measure.
