Paul Westerberg turns 65 today, which is a miracle worth celebrating. Thank you for inventing an archetype adopted by me and countless other Midwesterners at some point in their lives between the ages of 18 and 27.

The best! This morning, I mentioned in a different thread that I hope his radio silence in recent years means he's peacefully enjoying life out of the spotlight, not suffering in isolation.
I wouldn't even know what to do with myself. His work has meant so much to me over the years, but I also know how much he's struggled, I'd worry about approaching him and how he'd take anything I'd have to say about it.
I push Mr. Rabbit on a lot of mats fans who aren’t too clued into PW solo stuff. I love the guitar tone and I think it’s kinda uncharacteristically earnest?
It may be ‘Mats fan heresy but just because of when I got into music as a kid, but 12 Songs is the album I go back to the most, and World Class Fad is my favorite song.
