The Cause
Bob "Slim" Dunlap (born August 14, 1951) is a Minnesota guitarist and songwriter who in 1987 became the lead guitarist for The Replacements replacing Bob Stinson. He was with The Replacements until 1991 when the band called it quits. Slim then toured with Dan Baird lead vocalist for the to promote Dan’s Solo album Love Songs for the Hearing Impaired.
Prior to The Replacements gig he was in two other bands Thumbs Up and Spooks fronted by Curtis A. Slim also recorded two solos albums The Old New Me and Times Like This.
On Sunday morning, February 19, 2012 Bob suffered a severe stroke, hitting his head when he fell. His stroke was difficult to treat because he was bleeding internally from the blow to his head from the fall. Doctors did what they could to save as much brain tissue as possible, but the damage was significant. Slim is currently at home being cared for by his wife Chrissie and has frequent visits from family and friends.
After Slim's stroke, a non-profit project, Songs For Slim, was established to raise money for him by having other artists cover his songs and other merchandise. The releases included an EP by his former band mates from The Replacements, () featuring cover art by Chris Mars.| Listed | 4 years ago |
