These two posts would be the greatest entries in the history of this board if: 1) remphish lived in South Dakota 2) u2roolz lived in Connecticut

I never heard anything about Wilco playing the Opening Ceremony, just a free concert in a park outdoors. Any un-inviting of youngsters wouldn't be any fault of Wilco. Although, maybe they could recruit the children's choir to be their backup singers for Just a Kid, and then let them do a couple of their own tunes.

Very good work Wise! I subtracted one point for leaving out the apostrophe that shows possesion, but you put it in the right syllable pattern very well. A-

Were some of the Jeff photos taken at the Disney Hall in LA? The fact that he (maybe) has been in that building with a guitar gives me hope that he'll want to do a solo show there one of these days! I have some pics, but I refuse to be in a calendar with Charles Harris - too intimidating!!

She actually played a few shows in NYC a while back incognito with a "punk" band. Not real sure just how 'punk' it was (I only read an article about it) but she does apparantly have it in her to cut loose.

Alright, based on your description I went back and listened to more of it. I actually do like the chorus part. I just couldn't get past the first 10 seconds originally. The best part though is that I started checking out some of their other stuff there on YouTube and I rather liked it. I might need to check them out a bit more later.

Somehow when that guy sings, "There is something wrong with me," I actually believe him.

No. 99% of the public has no idea that they are related, and a considerable chunk of this country has no idea who Ravi is in the first place. It probably helped get her in the door at the record company, but talent kept her there. That and she's smoking hot!

sixty sixth graders pestering me all day long I need results now

The Climes They Are a'Changin

Um, that's only 2 lines and they don't even have the right number of syllables. Try again girlie!!

Somehow I get the sense that the poor girl who was interviewing them had neither heard Wilco nor seen a baseball game. Just a hunch. Having said that, she did give it a valiant effort. I did think that it was rather funny that they put video of Bernie Williams over the discussion about winning a world series and a grammy. Totally threw her under the bus.

Seeing as my class keeps asking me everyday about the contest, does anyone have any idea when they'll announce the winners? Not saying I'm expecting anything, I just want to have answers for pesky 11-year olds.

I'm going to go with actual living people, for no other reason than I'm delusional and willing to hope against all odds that this could actually happen. Jeff Tweedy - gtr/voc. Neil Finn - gtr/voc. Neko Case - gtr/voc. Nels cline - gtr Glenn Kotche - drums Geddy Lee - bass/some keys/vocals Garth Hudson - organ Andrew Bird - violin/voc. Pat Sansone - keys/some gtr (since we already have a lot) Sarah MacLachlan, Aimee Mann, Feist - backing vocals* Total Pros - horns *Yes, I know that they all play one or more instruments. But we already have a rather guitar-heavy lineup and I think they wou

Pop Todd, This might help you out.

Finger 11 40cc (did I get the number of cc's wrong?)

Hmmm... well, if you listen to some on this site, W(ta) is by far their weakest album in a while so they must be a shoo-in for album of the year! Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised either way. They could be completely snubbed just as easily as being up for multiple big awards.

Why the hell do I ever open these IRememberDBoon joke threads. I do it everyti... HEY! Wait a minute! This one's real???!!?! So, I'm unfortunately out of the loop. How is it different now?

Actually, another kid who didnt' end up writing a haiku blurted out while watching Monday in Ashes, "That guitar is cool, but I sure hope I don't win that suit!" Much laughter ensued and about 6 kids tried to work that into their poems. The one that kills me is this one: Father, please don't leave The moon says that you love me I'm sad without you His dad passed away at the beginning of the school year. I was fairly choked up typing that in.

Neil Finn, please pick up the white courtesy phone. Mr. Neil Finn to the white courtesy phone. Your jam session is here.

So, is that supposed to be an angel with wings, or a girl's legs draped over the guy's shoulders?

I know this isn't a Beatles-proper song, but I've always thought it'd be cool if when they hit the "My Sweet Lord" section of You Never Know that they actually segue (sp?) into actually playing a couple of bars of My Sweet Lord, then seemlessly go right back into You Never Know.

This came out quite nicely! Not everyone came up with a haiku, but those who did really nailed it! Here is my emailed submission to Wilcoworld. (Note: I put their names in the email, but have removed them here.) ____________________________________________________ Kind Sirs and Madames of Wilcoworld, After finding out about your haiku contest I decided to use this as an opportunity to extend our curriculum and turn it into a class project. Seeing as none of the students had ever heard of Wilco, (they're more into 50 Cent and Slipknot, if that gives you an indication of what I'm up agains

I started with ITMWLY. When I mentioned that they did a song for the Spongebob movie they got into that. I'm saving that one for Tues or Weds. 6th graders are very concrete thinkers. When I asked them what it sounds like they said "electric guitar" and "rock." We'll get there, you'll see!

No, I'd gladly hand it over to the winner. The only thing better than me winning the guitar would be for one of them to win it. Mmmm, actually me winning would be better, but one of them getting it would be a close second. Besides, if this were a ploy to get the guitar I would have just given them an "assignment" and not mentioned the guitar. We did our first attempt on Friday... it did NOT go very well. They weren't into the music at all and they don't get haiku. Hopefully next week will be better.
