Hey all,
Just found this the other day. I think that Paul Westerberg is as good a
songwriter as rock'n'roll has ever produced. And yes I include the Beatles.
Here's a link to video of a show they did when they were just getting underway
(Tommy Stinson looks like he's 12).

Even at this tender age they were just a little bit more tuneful than their
punk/hardcore compatriots, and Westerberg drips scrawny charisma. The closing
cover of a Hank Williams tune is, to me, precious. But then again I grew
up 90 miles from Minneapolis at precisely this time.

P.S. Apparently working with Westerberg is a singular pain in the ass, but
hell, I don't think Miles Davis was a really nice guy either.
