Today, the name of the game is “Sabotage!” And it's sabotage in every sense of the word.

She hated it so much that she badmouthed it in the press and refused to perform it live for over a decade. Could her fans ever change her mind? And finally, there’s the Replacements, who were determined to flush their career down the toilet.
