  1. Personally, I think he's a huge jerk, but I don't see that that has anything to do with his talents as a songwriter or musician. And he's prolific enough that I also don't like every single thing he does. I think I'd enjoy ritual bloodletting more than I would a second listen through his Rock 'N' Roll album, for example.

     

     

    He gets an exuberant amount of bad press. Like with the whole summer of '69 thing. I saw him on that tour and it was amazing, all acoustic solo with a couple of strings. You could hear a pin drop, anyway at the Ryman that night he invites out Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and during their song, this jackass is just yelling out. It's not like it was a request in between tunes, that Ryan just couldn't bear to hear.

     

    Rock N Roll was made in 7 days due to pressure from his label to release a more radio friendly rock record. He wanted to do loveishell as a double album, and they comprimised on if he released rocknroll as his album he could release love is hell as 2 EP's.

  2. I think he mentioned he was upset that he wasn't able to get up against the rail, and was 3-5 people back. Supposedly security fucked up when they opened the doors, and pretty much disolved whatever line there initially was beforehand. I'm betting he got there early and was pissed off he didn't get up to the front.

  3. Actually if you think about it since AGIB came out wilco has come to Austin at least 3 times on tour. Dallas at least Two, and San Antonio, Houston and Ft. Worth, once.

     

    They know the diehards will travel to whatever city they have to, to catch the show availible to them. So them playing only San Antonio and Ft. Worth this go round was about playing to the fans there that couldn't travel elsewhere the previous times they came through, and make the people from austin, houston and dallas drive for a change to catch the show.

     

    anyhow I am loving impossible germany and walken, lets not get carried away is ok. Sunken Treasure was amazing too, but I was unlucky to be next to some talkative girls and drunken frat boys, who didn't know the song and insisted on being loud the whole time.
