Paul Westerberg was the lead singer and songwriter for the Replacements, a critical darling during the eighties.
His albums with the Replacements, 1984's 'Let it Be', 1985's 'Tim', and
1987's 'Pleased to Meet Me', are considered among the best released in
the 1980s.
Although he composed the soundtrack to "Singles," the music of the
Replacements is featured in Cameron Crowe's other two films, "Say
Anything" and "Jerry Maguire."
Westerburg High School, the fictional high school used in the cult
classic film, Heathers, was named in honor of Westerberg by the film's
writer.
A rock 'n' roll band needs to be able to get under people's skin. You should be able to clear the room at the drop of a hat.
I'm not a perfectionist when it comes to songwriting. I'm more of a perfectionist when it comes to the instrumentation. I'll let nonsense words go by just 'cause they feel good.
