Mattsby , Viced , Archie , Joaquim , #peoplewithears What can any of us possibly say about him that hasn't already been written in Winona Ryder's diary? So instead I'll just submit this as proof of his inarguable genius: the best American songwriter of his generation, butchering a poorly recorded version of La Bamba - with nonsense lyrics in Spanish including one that translates literally as "The Saint, the Cat" (?) and the only understandable English words are "Take me to the White Castle in the Sky........live forever............ when I die! I rest my case.

Happy 60th to the GOAT... the best thing that (kind of) happened. And on this great day, I'd like to tell Youtube to fuck off:  |

On his 61st birthday - in Australian time anyway and yup - he gets 2 days too - this song from his 2nd "band" describes my waaaaaaaaaaaay over the top mushy man-crush feelings for him and the day he screamed into this world while missing the whole first rung........and his quote which inspires my entire "fnck 'em if they can't take a joke" personal philosophy in general. Happy Birthday St. Paul .......  |

happy 62nd to the god!
birthday shoutout to my favorite PW rediscovery of 2021 -- What About Mine? Underrated masterpiece tbh. Stands right alongside Achin to Be, Merry Go Round, Sadly Beautiful (and Androgynous, kind of) as a certain type of Westerberg song that hits you just right in that certain part of your soul.

Happy 63rd Birthday to our Patron Saint......to the guy that showed what a shitty 80s Jon Bon Jovi had and um, to a guy who always knew The Monkees were a cool band to cover - Daydream Believer is used "ironically" in (the awful) Women Talking btw except I think they misunderstand the song and show how they don't get it anyway tbh...... Paul just knew it's a great song - and he always "got it" ..........even when the mainstream .......um, didn't.......Mats fans assemble

"When I stopped breaking guitars, that was my downfall. I’ve got 25 of these damn things laying around the house, and nothing ever gets done. I need someone to steal all of them except one. You wanna break into my house? Just leave the brown one."
HBD to the GOAT - to last night's Double Jeopardy surprise - may all your local Walgreens be blessed with good hauls and this Paul. May your last guitar never be far, and may User 964848511 release some more music, at least for MAR.
How haven't we posted this song in this thread; for that, the demo.
