Yup, Paul is on tour with a band (Paul Westerberg & His Only Friends)
this Spring! I know he's not NOTED (or called as it were) "New Wave"
but The Replacements were probably one of the most influental and refreshing bands of that era. Maybe, dare I say, more so than most
fashion-obsessed New Wave bands. In the same way XTC were important and
unconcerned with image. Style over substance (I hope that phrase is alowed in these waters). Talent over gimmick. See him on tour if you get the chance!
