Reader Feedback on "Color Me Impressed"

I actually made out with Paul Westerberg about 2 years ago at a show near to San Diego. He kissed me on the bus, really! It was on his tour bus. He kissed really good too.

If you think he's hot, you ought to meet his sister!!! I've had a crush on her for years...

Wonderful article. I'm going home after work and putting on the old vinyl. I can't get "Unsatisfied" out of my head now. You really captured the essence of Paul and his appeal to so many of us -- male or female. It's too bad, though, that I didn't write songs, because I was the nice, last drunk guy standing at many a party, but not enough girls took me home. Guess I should have bought that guitar.

oy! how could you fail to mention "die within your reach"? oy oy! how could you fail to mention "alex chilton"? oy oy oy! how could you fail to mention "left of the dial"? oy oy oy oy! how could you fail to mention "ï won't"? sorry, i won't do this anymore.. last year i was riding in a van with a german girl and "ünsatisfied" came on, via some overly-nostalgic twit who was doing 'retrospective' shots on the uni radio station, and she goes "óhhh, but the singing is horrible!" and i listened, and the singing was. what can you do?

Paul threw up on my shoes once in '86, a great pair of Sam and Libby red suede ankle boots. But I forgave him.

Masterfully written, Ada. You forgot "You're Getting Married." The only song that ever made me not want to remarry.
