Paul Westerberg, interviewed by Peter Wolf (REUPLOAD)

This is a re-upload of an interview with former Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg interviewed by fellow musician Peter Wolf in January of 2016. Most of the questions regard his then-new collaborative album 'Wild Stab' with Juliana Hatfield under the name 'The I Don't Cares' which, by the way, is a fantastic album and went severely overlooked. This video is notable in the fact that it's Westerberg's last public interview before going on an unannounced hiatus that he is currently still in. It was deleted off it's original channel but was thankfully salvaged from Westerberg's fan forum 'Man Without Ties' which you can find here - https://paulwesterberg.proboards.com
