You've got the causality flipped: Born to Run defines the decade, the decade doesn't define it.

The better the seats, the better... Please email robselzer@mac.com... Thanks a bunch!!

Re the show: Amazing. My girlfriend and I splurged for the VIP tickets and I have to say that they were worth every penny. There's quite a bit of venom on this site directed at the very idea of a VIP section, which I understand, but I felt like Crossroads did a great job straddling the line between providing the VIP section with value and not completely screwing the GA folks. The VIP section was full and lively and totally into the show. I'm embarrassed to admit that I almost got into a fight with a bunch of VIP meatheads during Andrew Bird because they were shouting about the MU/OU game

either: "I have no idea how this happens" or "AND I SHOULD TAKE CARE!!"

For the record, the only reason that I am a Wilco fan is because of a VW ad. Some of you may remember an old spot that showed a road trip from cold weather to the beach accompanied by Son Volt's "Chanty". I saw the ad and thought, "wow, that's a pretty tune," and searched for the title and artist in the interweb. So I found the info and did some research on Son Volt and read about Uncle Tupelo and Farrar and Tweedy and went out and bought Being There and Wide Swing Tremolo. Now I'm a serious fan. I go to shows when they're around, buy all their records, download live shows, push them on m

...and what about the live tweedy stuff? sometimes when he's solo the new stuff sounds like old stuff. does that work for you? too many chord changes? it can become tiresome.

This is SO easy!! 1. Far, Far Away (current live version) 2. Hate It Here (how amazing is the transition from the penultimate verse to the chorus: "...and I should take care!") 3. Kamera (from YHF, not the fuzzified version) 4. Impossible Germany (the Allman Bros.-inspired twin guitar riff is off the charts) 5. Wait Up (okay, so that's a UT song, but I'm including it...) unless... 1. I'm Always In Love 2. This Is New 3. Pot Kettle Black 4. That's Not The Issue 5. Panthers of course, maybe it's... 1. Shake It Off 2. You Are My Face 3. Bob Dylan's 49th Beard 4. Dreamer I

thanks for the nickel creek songs. they're pretty cool. the only reason i asked the question was to sort of piggyback off the thread about what band we'd like to hear play what wilco song. i realized that i'd never heard anyone cover a wilco song and seeing as how most of us agree that tweedy is one of the best songwriters alive it seems strange that no one's taken advantage of wilco's particular genius for their own benefit. any thoughts on why folks don't cover wilco songs?

Does anyone know of any bands that have covered Wilco songs? Just curious...

It doesn't seem to get much love around these parts, but I'm a huge fan of Shake It Off...
