my pal keith tipped me off on this. Lucinda’s new album is highly influenced by westerberg.

from the story: In “Bleeding Fingers,” Williams sings, “You got a sense of humor / You’re a mystery / I heard a rumor / You’re making history.” Says Williams, “He’s [Westerberg] one of the most underrated songwriters around, I think. Just a brilliant writer. He’s just really good at combining literary lyrics — really good lyrics — set against a really cool, rock’n’roll musical bed.”

i think i just wet myself.
