Lewis Largent, thanks Jim. For the life of me, I couldn’t remember that wanker’s name.

Yeah, it’s the 1993 MTV performance; one of my sisters has the fucker. Westerberg was not pleased with the performance MTV aired. Evidently he gave it his all on the first take, not expecting to be asked to do a 2nd take, but finished the job & left in a hurry. The interview segment was painful to watch since it was conducted by one of the biggest MTV knobs: Lewis Largent. Jesus I wince just thinking about what a moron this guy was;Westerberg asked him if he had any requests & the guy couldn’t come up with anything! Kennedy was another MTV loser Westerberg got stuck with 3 years later. Call it suffering for one’s art.

8/15/93. This was an MTV studio performance (on 120mins?).

There was also an interview portion where Paul seemed rather annoyed.
