lost highway

They didn't say anything about partisan politics, just a law. If anything the polarity is in your interpretation of their action. If they were filling up twitter with rants against the GOP I'd say you have something. I can also understand that for a republican to mix in a community of Wilco fans it must be easy to feel like an outsider.

How dare you! (remember when this was the most heated discussion around these parts)

One day later I can only conclude that the people who are still really upset about this have a shortage of problems to worry about. (Sexual orientation discrimination apparently isn't one of them). Get well soon everybody.

I think he did electric bass only, but through a smaller guitar amp which gave it so much presence and so little lows. Kind of the anti-Stirratt. I noticed on songs like Hazel it's super nasal.

On page 9 of this thread it would seem prudent to not respond to anyone who's just joined. If they still want to talk in a couple weeks then we know it's for serious. I've no time for trolls.

I always admired a long lost conservative sensibility that laws basically restrict freedom. The only law that is worthy is one that protects many freedoms by restricting few. This paradoxical sweet spot is the domain of important legislation. Everything else is unnecessary authority, bureaucratic entropy, and interference between people and their natural liberty. Under these principles, I don't think the law should exist. It's not enabling a missing freedom.

The real question is why did they really need the law in the first place? At this point the Indie politicians have spoken a lot about all of the awful things it supposedly wont do, but what should it actually do? Were citizens struggling to find the freedom to conduct their religious lives?

The fact is, at this point in history marriage has no essential meaning. The only meaning is constructively built by pairs of people who enter into it, each unique. The insecurity on the sanctity of marriage is logical. There is no sanctity, these people are chasing a ghost. If you are worried about authenticity you can only build it at home and yours doesn't look like mine. I'm lucky some jerk doesn't try to jab his petty god at mine, others are not so lucky.

I think the character and opinions of the designers of the law speak to its intention. The key figures here all have been quoted as denying gay rights in one shade or another. I'll hunt down the article if you think I'm shooting wind here.

Oops. Sorry. I think you're right. I'm done.

"It's not fair Lebowski!"

Wow. Not too long ago. That's an eye opener.

So you see the conversation is the point, not the revenue, or fans' hurt feelings. It's not really about Wilco, or you. People are talking about the law. Success.

This story was on msnbc, pitchfork, av club, chicago tribune, time, and variety. The work has already been done. If the choice between a drive to Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago, or not seeing Wilco for many months is punishment, you've lead a charmed life.

There it is ^. Thank you for your sincerity Wilco Me.

Well they've certainly added attention to the cause.

Oh sorry, it should have been my "sour grapes" defense, not my "conservative Foo fan" dismissal. Hurt feelings all around either way. I am also outraged.

The sour beer place! Not for the faint of heart. My wife loves sour beers. I enjoy one from time to time.

Yes, grammys tell us who makes the best music and Indiana's conservative legislators have no problem with LGBQ folks. Looks like you've got it figured out. We'll miss you over here with our crappy band and our misguided queer agenda. Good luck!

I find the appropriation of "bigot" on the part of those in favor of the law to be baffling.

Now I get it.

My new favorite for when I'm feeling fancy is Boulevard Brewing out of KC makes a farmhouse called Tank 7. It's really stinking good. Which is funny that I've become obsessed with a beer out of Missouri. Denver has become craft brew mecca with a new brewery opening every couple months. Anyhow, I like the farmhouse/saison thing. It seems to be the perfect mix of big flavor while still being refreshing. I like a big IPA, or stout as much as the next guy but sometimes they feel like "staying in and going to bed early" kind of beers.

Classy website. Good story. But really, I suppose some good old boys will use this silliness as a "so this is what it's come to" example when discussing issues of race in our country. Quite diverting.
