Welly well well, you can’t shake a stick around the Internet without bumping into someone totally stoked about the upcoming ‘Mats’ reissues. Though Harp should get mad props for the ‘No shit’ headline.
KEXP out of Seattle has an interview with Jim Walsh:
Laurie Lindeen — who’s obviously biased, but hey, she was a fan before a spouse — has said in interviews that Paul Westerberg is “our generation’s Bob Dylan.” Agree?
I think when people say that, they’re just trying to explain to other people how great a songwriter Paul is, and how deeply he’s touched so many people. And that’s certainly valid. But I’d hate to put that on him, you know? Dylan is Dylan, Westerberg is Westerberg. Who’d want to be called the Bob Dylan of their generation?
