Wilco. Had Jay Bennett not left the band
dondoboy replied to Shakespeare In The Alley's topic in Just A Fan
Nope, both fat guys. Oh Lord, I can't stop! Oh, wait, they both have Bob Dylan's Beard! Neck beard. -
Watching this tonight. In the basement. Where the beer lives.

There should be a Dylan list all by its self "Like A Rolling Stone"--it really is the greatest rock and roll song But so is "Lola"

Yep, fat joke. -

Oh, fer Christ's sake, its just a fat guy who used to be in the band. -
"Positively 4th Street", "Idiot Wind" etc... Bob Dylan takes the cake for break-up songs.

I loved those shows too. It felt wide open. It proved to me how amazing Glenn is and how John is such an important part of this band. And I would say the worst months of Wilco were the months just prior to Jay leaving. That huge, bombast sound was awful. -
I've always loved those "Singles" songs too. I'm really hard pressed to think of any bad stuff. Of course I'm blinded by my love for his stuff...

Mucho vibes from Motown
-
Not to beat a dead (fat) horse, but watching this again proves the band is far better without Jay.

Well, if its Westerberg solo I would get "14 Songs". Its a good intro. If we're talking about his best stuff, go out and buy The Replacements "Let It Be", "Tim", and "Hootenanny". You should get it all. Blow a whole paycheck, sell your car, sell your pants, give away your kid brother. Its worth it.

Really!? Do yourself a favor and go get all you can get your hands on.

I never thought about the title. At least he apologized. -
Merry Christmas fellow VCers! Hope everyone has a great day! Thanks for your friendship and good cheer this year and hope for a happy 2009! (Best gift: wonderfully used copies of two Kinks albums)

Ooops. Sorry, Tom's fine. -
Loved and sorely missed.

There's something wrong with Tom Jackson from NFL Countdown? -
Its too bad most people won't have access to this because its great. Anyone else listen to it? What did you think?

OK, now I feel bad about the fat jokes. So for redemption sake, I think if Jay had stayed in the band it would have imploded. Some creative tension is healthy and promotes the right amount of competition. That kind of playful banter may have made the making of Summerteeth a pretty good movie. And if we only use the movie as a guide to the problems the band was having we'd be leaving out Coomer's departure and a new drummer coming in. The scenes in the movie that have Jay alone, before the split say tons about what kind of guy he is every day. Not the kind of guy I'd like to spend any -

Just telling the truth there Bobby boy. Jay's about as good at singing as you are at using the ellipsis. -
I've always thought that has gotta be one of the coolest album titles ever!

No, I wasted the time to download it, listen to it and drag it to the trash the next day. Time I could have spent listening to something decent. And, while Jay has always gotten on my nerves as far as his songwriting goes, I always give a guy a chance. I'd love to be surprised by something he does, which is why I listened to it. But, once again, he just doesn't have the talent that he thinks he has. Maybe next time. I've got time. -
From time to time I like to go back in the stacks of albums and pull one out I haven't listened to in a very long time. This week its Bo Diddley is a Gunslinger. What a fantastic record.
