: knowledge from Paul Westerberg
on Prince:
"If he's a pop star or he's in vogue is irrelevant. Like Coltrane or Sly Stone, he's creative, he's great. He's the shit. He's a great, great musician."
on rock:
"To like us, you have to try and understand us. You can't come in and just let your first impressions lead you. Because your first impression will be a band that doesn't play real well, is very loud, and might be drunk. Beneath that is a band that values spirit and excitement more than musical prowess. To me, that's rock and roll, and we're a rock and roll band."
