  1. Eventually

    Eventually is the second solo album that Paul Westerberg released after the breakup of The Replacements. The album started out in Atlanta with producer Brendan O'Brien. Although those sessions produced good results—the leadoff single, "Love Untold", among them—Westerberg and O'Brien parted ways. O'Brien was pressed for time, and Westerberg needed more time to write enough songs to fill out a full album. Westerberg regrouped with Lou Giordano. The song "Good Day" was written for late Replacements guitarist Bob Stinson. It references "Hold My Life", a track from the album Tim.

    Emotionally, it can be very exhausting to work in such an environment, you naturally start to care for people and to worry about their health and emotional well-being.

    Supporting them against Iran is akin to supporting Hamas against Al Qaeda, as someone who has been supportive of overthrowing Assad for years before the civil war, it pains me to say that overthrowing him today would only lead to much more bloodshed.

And from there, we can hope that a safe alternative to Assad’s rule can eventually rise and support liberal elements to make it happen.
