Here is the boot

All hail the boot. Visiting Gasthof's is just making me yearn for a bar crawl. I need to get organizing if I don't want to wait to the family bar crawl in May. But yeah crazy Saliva fan decided he would start talking to me about music. I was wearing my Paul Westerberg sharp dressed man shirt (see below) and more then ready for this conversation.

He asked who my favorite band is and when I told him the Replacements he of course had no idea what I was talking about. But he said that didn't matter he just loved that I talked about them with such passion. So if he didn't get the Mats he sure wasn't going to get Plate O Shrimp, Six Six Crush, or the Stunning. This and a guy with a Red Stripe trucker hat were what we had to look at that night. It was an interesting evening. But because I neglected dinner that beer hit me harder then it should have and there was a whirlpool spinning around in my head. Yeah this blog really has turned into "How Many Times Can I Quote Replacements Lyrics Today." DEAL WITH IT.

That's an impressive boot!
There are SO many people out there who have bad taste in music, it can be pretty discouraging. But on the other hand, as a fan it is incredibly cool to get to see great bands in small, intimate venues, instead of watching from a mile away in the huge arenas where they deserve to be playing...
I definitely agree with the smaller venues comment. I am not necessarily for Paul becoming more famous. I love meeting the diehard fans. Wouldn't want some wanna be one single loving fans getting in the way. If he wants it he should have it. But if he's happy so am I.
