He is a neglected genius. Breaks my heart so easily with superlative lyrics and subtle chord changes.

Fricken Genius. He's a wonderful songwriter not appreciated by those "who still get by on trash".

I want to live in the timeline where Paul is a household name, widely respected for his songwriting skills, and put on the pedestal that pop stars are.

i listened to this when youtube first started gaining popularity in college and acoustic sets were just getting added to the medium. Things like MTV unplugged AiC etc....only people that really wanted to share something beautiful put forth the effort because there was no money in it...kind of like the internet was in 93-95. The people that matter live in the timeline you describe. It isn't indie, it is pop culture but it is the popular culture that values heart and not dollars.

I'm almost positive Jools made a mistake with his introduction. Paul came on the show right after he released 14 Songs in 1993; however, as far as I know, The Replacements were never featured.

@miguelfitzsimmy5610 2 жыл бұрын

They did appear on Whistle Test in 1985, which was kind of the precursor to this show.

@adderon Жыл бұрын

Yeah it seems he forgot that awesome 1993 appearance but technically the members of that band were replacements to The Replacements. Maybe ol Jools was being cheeky

@svviftghost 5 жыл бұрын

Paul Westerberg’s contribution to musical lyricism and sound could never be over-estimated. His place as an inspiration to other artists will always be underestimated and should be considered an icon to musicians everywhere. Unfortunately he ruined it and could have been in the rock n roll hall of fame if he really gave himself a shot back in his prime.

A lot of his songs sound the same structure and tone wise but each has it's own story, they're all good stories with mostly sad characters but that's what draws us Paul fans in so tight. He tugs on those heartstrings just right
