  • This gem of a video has been online before, but deleted for some odd reason, but now it's finally back on UA-cam.
    Original Description:
    "On Thanksgiving Day in 2010 we randomly ran into Paul Westerberg of The Replacements who was doing some early Christmas shopping at a South Minneapolis Walgreens. Reporter Liz Collin had no idea who he was and Paul was having some fun with her."

    "You look like a Paul that used to play in a good band around here". And the downplayed response is"Yeah,that would be me". Thank you,mr.westerberg.

      "...good band around here..." is quite the understatement. Like calling Dylan a "good local singer from around here".

      Yeah, sounds like the guy purposefully understated it so as to not scare away Paul. BTW, is the pronunciation ”yah” a Scandinavian influence?
