Talk:Paul Westerberg

message: Although Westerberg admittedly lurches between spelling the name of his alter ego as one word and spelling it as two, most reviewers and retailers appear to favor the former. Drysarcasm 07:34, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I always thought he was born on the last day of the 50's (12/31/1959) but IMDB.com has his DOB listed as 12/31/1960. For what it's worth, VH1.com also lists Paul's birth year as 1959. Anyone?
AllMusic.com lists it as 1959. The 1954 that's currently listed seems way off. Bcarlson33 05:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Maybe I've just read too much of Our Band Could Be Your Life, but shouldn't there be some mention of Paul being a notorious alcoholic?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.206.45.5 (talk) 01:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Paul Westerberg is not Jewish. I've checked some of these 'citations' and they are all just assertions that don't make any sense. Westerberg went to Catholic high school, came from a Catholic family. Just because a fella has 'berg' at the end of his name doesn't mean he's Jewish.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.241.40.126 (talk) 13:46, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

message: If you do have proof please elaborate, I mean how do you know that the 'citations' you've checked saying that his family were Catholic aren't just assertions and make sense?
Other than that in the words of Outkast, "You know, you know, you know what to do..." (120.149.124.180 (talk) 11:40, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Any proof of this? 

message: But what's the difference between your references and mine? Why is yours more proof that he's Catholic?
Why is my proof not proof that he's Jewish? I don't understand (120.149.119.141 (talk) 01:49, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  But what's the difference? 

message: Well, if you're sure then, then I hope no one minds or objects if I get rid of the references as I was the one who did cite these/them.
So I guess I'll just delete them. Is that okay? (120.149.119.141 (talk) 01:51, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Well, if you're sure... 

message: First of all, I'm going to get rid of the sentence in the personal info section that cites this website: http://westerberg-paul.livejournal.com/538.html
It's clearly not a real blog run by Paul Westerberg, and that website doesn't have citations of its own, so I think it's fair to say that any information retrieved from that site can't be proven as facts.
Second, does anyone have any good information about his first marriage? He was married in the 1980s at some point to a woman named Lori Bizer before they divorced and he married Laurie Lindeed. Also, the Star Tribune mentioned that he and Laurie recently divorced, and I was wondering if anyone has any other sources for that as well.
I'm going to add these details, but feel free to edit them to make them better within the article after I do in case I do a bad job of it, haha.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommy's tonsils (talk • contribs) 04:15, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
