”On occasion, Mars was
given to fits of strangely theatrical behavior. This usually coincided with the
appearance of his outré alter ego. ‘Pappy the Clown’. The first time Pappy
appeared was during a gig at a punk club in Virginia Beach. “We did a sound
check, and then Chis came back for the show made up like a clown, with no
explanation”, recalled Westerberg. “And he wouldn’t say a word. It was all
mime. It kinda startled us. We all thought this pretty much genius…but weird as
hell”
“It was…God…it was funny”, said Tommy
Stinson. “It was pretty disturbing at first too, because it was so out of the
blue.””

Replacements’ af Bob Mehr.
De klovnelignende figurer har Chris
Mars ikke lagt bag sig. De indgår i høj grad i den kunst, som Mars lever og ånder
for i dag.
