Right now, it hasn't affected my music other than the fact that I don't have time to write any of it. That's no different from when I first started and I lived at home. I would play the guitar in the afternoon and then my mom or my dad would come home and I'd have to quit. Paul Westerberg affectafternoondad share on social
It's my first record since my son is old enough to understand and I can't even show it to him. Yes, it's affected me, probably in the opposite of how anyone would have thought. Paul Westerberg affectoppositerecord Change image and share on social
A rock'n'roll band needs to be able to get under people's skin. You should be able to clear the room at the drop of a hat. Paul Westerberg bandcleardrop Change image and share on social
Actually, I've done it the other way so many times where you rehearse the band and you do the whole thing with lights, the show and the crew - everything. Then you see what happens and you're already committed to dates. I'm just sort of putting out feelers this way. Paul Westerberg bandcommitcrow share on social
Oddly, when I started to make the record, I wasn't aware I was making a record. I just was sort of disgusted with the whole thing and sequestered myself in the basement and started playing the piano just for something to do. Paul Westerberg awarebasementdisgust share on social
It's like, it's up to the people to fall in love with the song. The record company can only do so much. Paul Westerberg companyfalllove Change image and share on social
The best I can say is that it's better for me to write about despair and darkness than to be incapable of getting off the sofa. It's better to write about suicide than to contemplate it too heavily. Paul Westerberg contemplatedarknessdespair Change image and share on social
I think of the Replacements only when they're brought up to me. For two years, I'm at home, they don't really cross my mind. I still hear them on the radio. I'm not ashamed of anything we did. Paul Westerberg ashamedbringcross Change image and share on social
I didn't wake up one morning and not be in the Replacements. We're all that forever, and I've just grown older. I mean, I haven't lost anything. I've gained a few things. Paul Westerberg forevergaingrow Change image and share on social
