Dig it. Thanks. Back to Uncle Tupelo, Punch Drunk...

"Hope I die before I get old" I'm slightly nervous about this because it may confirm my worst fears--one of the greatest bands in rock should have retired long, long ago. But maybe they have another rock opera in them. Tommy? One of the best musical creations ever, next to Quadraphenia. Do you remember the mini-opera, A Quick One While He's Away? Brilliance. My name is Ivor, and I'm an engine driver... You're all forgiven! In its entirety: [i. Her Man's Been Gone] Her man's been gone For nearly a year He was due home yesterday But he ain't here Her man's been gone F

I'm completely lost but will try to follow orders....

Please. No offense, but really seems to have run its course.

A rehabilitated junkie? The gal who got me into Wilco in the first place is always pushing me to listen to Earle, and now Gram Parsons. What is it with drugs and alt country rock? (I know, another thread is all over this topic).

Will this thread ever end? Can we start a new one?

Thanks to whoever mentioned the KCRW live performance which is easily accessible on the web. JT gives a little background on the song then does a great version. Could this be a song from Civil War era? Doesn't matter, I love it and wish the solo version were back on Roadcase (not that I don't like Duluth show....).

I loved the Morrison song. Beautiful lyrics. Back to the gutter.... Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good, They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would. They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home. Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone. But I would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned. Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street. They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat. They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor. They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door. But I would not feel so all alone,

First heard this from ric von schmidt. he lives in cambridge. Rics a blues guitar player. I met him one day on the green pastures of the harvard university. Baby let me follow you down Baby let me follow you down Well Ill do anything in this godalmighty world If you just let me follow you down. Can I come home with you Baby can I come home with you? Yes Ill do anything in this godalmighty world If you just let me come home with you. Baby let me follow you down Baby let me follow you down Well Ill do anything in this godalmighty world If you just let me follow you down. Yes Ill do anyth

Love AGIB. Essential to AWATT. Neil Young-like guitar on opening, ALTWYS rocks. Hell is Chrome became a favorite after seeing it live. Spiders...a masterpiece Muzzle and Hummingbird are lovely and some of JT's best lyrics Handshake, Wishful, and Company from the very first listen struck me as the best series of songs strung together since Abbey Road, and first two live transport to another freakin' plane I'm a Wheel took a while but have come to enjoy its rambunctiousness Theologians is particularly valued in my small world of study of religion Less Than You Think I have

I'd give my [fill in the blank] to see any damn show, even if it did have a short setlist and some technical difficulties!!! You're all lucky to be there. Thanks for the report which does ease the pain somewhat of not being there..... Now if they'd put the rest of the Duluth show up on Roadcase!

Was that a religious experience???

Seems like more of a MySpace entry then something for the VCers. Who the fuck cares?

Richard Pryor (catching fire) Dan Akroyd (Fred Garvin) Eddie Murphy (hey Norton) John Cleese (funny walks) Bob Saget (Aristocrats) Honorable mention: Sarah Silverman (want to be sensitive to gender imbalance)

That's my day job, about 8 months a year (though I have all of next year off to write). Was it the cherry commentary that raised your suspicions? You should hear my lectures! But about the original post--would you really describe it as a religious experience? That's intriguing and I wonder how many others would use religious language to convey the concert, or listening, experience with Wilco. I sure felt it in Asheville and Denver--nothing over the top, really, but something quite out of the ordinary and spiritual as well as simple musical pleasure. In my own history, the only other

I haven't used the "cherry" metaphor since high school (long, long ago), but isn't it "pop a cherry" or something like that? I'm not sure a virgin gets her cherry "broken", though I could be wrong since, well, as I said, long, long ago.... I'll respond to the substance of this thread later this evening, after I down a few (not cherries!!).

Amen, brother. This is not an album I returned to again and again. I recognize its brilliance and influence, but not something that has much more than historical value to me.

Let me be bold: We would not even be here if it wasn't for Pet Sounds. Paul knows it. Jeff knows it. Pete knows it. I think we can end this thread now.

So who wrote it?

I only know the version that's up on roadcase from Mandel Hall. Can anyone provide me with other versions as mp3? And, I hate to admit it, but I don't know the history of this one. Did Jeff write this? Thanks.

Me too. In fact, I'm trying to emulate it in my own appearance, much to my wife's chagrin.

Nice way to put it. Yes. Any others that come to your mind, just as cathartic, just as uncompromising?
