MAIL TIME!: A reader asks: "Is Paul Westerberg Jewish?" An interesting question. The frontman of The Replacements, the seminal '80s band from Minneapolis, has been making superlative music for more than two decades, yet this is the first I've heard of his potential Hebraicity. If so, that's cool; if not, he's a prime candidate for the Eckstein Award. If anyone has any idea, drop an e-mail or comment below.
