The band member I called laptop guy in 2002 because I didn't know who he was

Made me ask myself what the F??K I was listening to, when I turned 14 and was introduced to The Grateful Dead and The Doors, wow did I get lucky

Continued my love for Jeff Tweedy music following the demise of my all time favorite band Uncle Tupelo, seriously I was crushed for months after UT said goodbye.

I have been a huge Dead fan for many years I cannot draw any comparisons to The Dead and "Shake it Off" at all. Are you sure you are listening to that one? I personally think O'Rourke would have ruined SBS. Didn't he initally mix it and Jeff didn't like it? I like O'Rourke but I am so glad he really wasn't a part of SBS.

Was the last we heard of Leroy, where the hell is Leroy today anyhow?

The reworked version of Sunken Treasure with Nels on lap steel is excellent, it was a total surprise at what I consider a very average Indy show at Murat. I also really love Side with the seeds and You are my Face. Overall however, the shows except for the NY run were actually disappointing. Again, just my opinion.

Amen to everything said here

It is a very legit pointabout the use of energy at these huge festivals. Does anyone know if there was any effort made to be green,I would certainly think so or all this would be of a hypocritical move?

Took me the longest to digest. Like the previous post states, a bit uneven but I think it is beautiful.

Thanks so much for the setlist.

Don't know why but couldn't get into anything they have done, I had a friend in college that loved them, although this friend was a female who probably just liked Jacob. For a one album wonder though The Highwaymen for sure.

Just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to update if possible?

He was a leader at rallying people at the work camps during the depression era, he was a early leader for workers rights in the United States. While not the greatest family man or father, he was indeed a revolutionary, even by the most modest standards.

I do what I can do I must admit, I would love to see someone with a respected voice (Jeff just as an example not really who I think should step forard) would be heard just a little louder than my voice and actions. I am just asking where are the respected people to lead the way on the front lines?

After watching" Man in The Sand" for about the 60th time it dawned on me where is the voice of our time? The voice of our generation? Where are the people who will really make a stand against what is really going on? I am 35 years old and I don't feel like I have done enough? Jeff's words as well as Billy Bragg 's really struck me? They and us could make a difference right now. Look inside yourself and see what is really happening. The only difference between 1965 and now are the voices. We are under the same type of administration and lies as then. Please listen up. I do not feel ashmaed to w

Being a huge fan I have tried many times to get with it. It even reminds me of growing up. I am around the age of Jeff, so I feel I can relate to where he is coming from with the lyrics, I just don't like the tune and it is always an excuse to go the bathroom when its played live. With that being said my daughter has always loved it.

I always skip over HMD, love the cd, just don't see its place on it!!

Wasn't as groundbreaking to me as everyone thought,although I loved it from the first spin.

For my money the early 70's were the best GD has ever been. Not to say I don't love almost every chapter of the band, just I am partial to the sound from that period.

Fits in very nicely with this period of my life, gives me hope.

Great quote, I find myself getting lost in the lyrics of a different SBS song almost everyday. There may be less wordplay on SBS, but I just like the directness of most of the lyrics.

I don't know much about poetry, I just really dig Jeff's lyrics! SBS is awsome

No hard feelings here at all. I just needed to retract a few things. VC has always been a very positive experience for me. I always enjoy the opinions here on the board.

MY OFFICAL APOLOGY TO THE COMMUNITY I have been posting here and a part of Via Chicago for a long time. I shouldn't have gotten so out of line with my posts. I do realize this is a community board with all of us sharing one common interest here WILCO, the greatest rock band around. My posts were out of line and I do apologize for anyone who I may have offended with them. After all we are talking about a commercial here. With all the issues and problems in the world today, this little subject just does not ad up. I hope to have stronger communication with all involved in the future. Si

Sorry to be able to afford some of the finer things in life. I am a grown man adult with a good job and a college education. Does this make me any less credible that I don't have to fish pennies out of a jar to afford things. Just what I would expect from a RED SOXfan. Just as I would snarl at some of the choices in your cd collection
