Paul Westerberg quote: "It's like, it's up to the people to fall in love with the..."

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

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
Paul Westerberg quote: "The hack songwriter will write the absolute truth every single..."
The hack songwriter will write the absolute truth every single word, whether it makes a great song or not. Paul Westerberg
I don't think there's anything that will make me stop doing it. There may be a time when it's not available to anyone. You may have to come listen at my basement window... but I can't stop. Paul Westerberg
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
