Arrgh! At the risk of banishment for being an annoying S.O.B. unable to take a hint, I will be as clear as I can in a final attempt at message boarding. Does anyone else think that John and Glenn are an essential part of Wilco? I can appreciate all of the opinions on Nels and enjoy reading them but again, what about John and Glenn? Essential or expendable? Why? I thank you in advance for all comments, both relevant and irrelevant, i.e., witty insults.

Bumping my own thread because I get the feeling that my reason for the thread was lost, ignored, mis-interpreted or somesuch. It is great that several people like the Captain's Dead blog. Much love and respect to Gregor. Seriously. If I blogged, it would be beyond unknown (Yes, that's impossible. Both for me to blog and for something to be beyond unknown.). I found it interesting that: 1) It was presented that Tweedy should disband Wilco and 2) If he did so, it would be acceptable to keep John and Glenn if he so chose. As I originally posted, I am not sure about disbanding but agree with k

WWDMS?

The world is a place of rampant douchebaggery. The internet is the distillery. Plenty of Doucher's Mark, neat, at VC.

Yeah but it seems as though Mr. Samsa wrote it after hearing the NPR show. Either way, it is what he wrote that interests me, not why he wrote it. Sorry for the lack of precision.

I did a search but found no evidence of prior posting of this. This is the reaction to the NPR concert simulcast of some dude at some blog called Captain's Dead. "blow up wilco, and start anew tweedy, i beg of you. ok, you can keep john and glenn, but the other three dudes gotta go. if you were to tell me back in 94/95 that in 2011 i would no longer give a shit about wilco, i would have slapped ya in the face and kicked in the balls, or vagina. sadly, its gotten to that point though. still with that said, i dont think there was a finer band on the planet than said band from their inception t

I don't see how a person could quit VC. No matter the pointless drivel posted, the self-important musings nor the time wasted, you can always count on exchanges like the above to make it all worthwhile. Thanks again, ya'll.

Sitting vs. standing at a concert is the only time I don't conform to do as others do. If that is obnoxious then my wife and I are obnoxious. We can fully understand how someone is unable to see if we are standing in front of them but if the mood stikes us, and it always does, then we stand up. We don't go to many shows these days for a variety of reasons but mainly because for us, at 48 and 50, we want to be in bed by 9 Su-Th and by 10 F and Sat. Therefore, when we go, we are there to enjoy ourselves as much as possible. If you can't see then stand up, be quiet or bitch. We wanna rock. Is tha

Since I fear that McGuffin was confused by the above, the song is Pot Kettle Black. I apologize to everyone else for quoting myself.

I agree with "one of the most beautiful and emotional songs Wilco's ever recorded". The first time that I heard 'Less Than You Think' was at the Tampa Theatre show on the 2nd of November 2002 (still one of my top 5 Wilco concerts out of... hell, I forget and don't have the time to figure it out now! I highly recommend having a copy.). Anyway, 'Less Than You Think' was the 4th song played sans the length and drone of the future 'A Ghost Is Born' version. We were totally loving it from the opening. Imagine our surprise when it came out a couple of years later! I also remember laughing when the

There is a Wilco song that would be appropriate to reference here. If only I could remember which one...

The drone is amazing and speaks to me with all sorts of meaning because that's the tenor of this board.

I, too, was unsure about reading Crow's post when I saw the length but i am glad that I had, and used, the time to do so. Earnest and honest musings on a subject that the poster is interested in. That's what message boards are all about. McGuffin's post was a lot shorter and took no time at all but I am not glad that I read it. Irrelevant to the post, negative simply for the sake of trying to look superior and causing a "Fuck, he likely acts that way in person" realization. That's what message boards are all about. Angel or devil? Internet, I trip through your wires.

I agree. I'd put One Beat up against The Rising any day. I love both artists and own both albums and One Beat certainly qualifies as "a completely unapologetic and non-ironic" tackling of 9/11/2001 themes. I am sure that there are other artists meeting the criteria.

I agree with Benjamin Franklin that beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy but I would add that the internet, particulary message boards, is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Put beer and this thread together, thanks Jules, and I would be very happy. Upon reflection, Jules is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Clearly, I, too, should be keep from posting here.

Fair play to you, sir. I respect that. I agree that they and their families should be keep from posting here.

What are your feelings toward the terminally Ill Wilco fans who pass away before Sept. 27 or the middle-aged Wilco fans that are hit by runaway trains and such before Sept. 27?

We are having a mixed herb salad with green olives, avocado and tomato with baked sweet potatoes and all the trimmings Boca burgers for supper. PM on the way.

I rue the realization that I am incapable of making a useful contribution to what has become the Thread of Threads.

1.Being an Uncle Tupelo fan, I bought AM when it was released. I have to agree with the "AM to Being There to Summerteeth, okay this is the shit" sentiments. 2.22 July, 1995 at Jannus Landing, St. Petersburg, FL. Wilco opened for the Jayhawks and did not disappoint. One of the best double-bills that I have seen.

He's absent from more than Wilco.

That Sly Fox dude invited me to the Wind Blew Me Black board during the outage time. I was flattered. I posted there for a few days but for fuck's sake, how many places can you go to? I check my email, Sky Sports News/football and NPR daily and that's it. I check here and jayfarrar.net a couple of times a week because old habits die hard and go to Daytrotter when I get an email from them. The idea of regularly posting, hell, checking, multiple websites daily boggles my mind. Add in Facebook, blogging, etc. Plus, it seems as though many polyposter/bloggers/Facebookers also read often, watch mov
