That is not remotely true. EDIT: Obviously, I'm late to the party in noting this.

Ken, this was absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much! Your generosity over the years has meant a lot to many people. Thanks for the great night. Here are some pics from last night, along with links from the past couple of years if anyone has any interest: http://web.me.com/johnrooks/Site_2/Jeff_Tweedy_Living_Room_Show_2010.html

Yep, I was at that show. Maybe the best opener in the Wilco canon. And good lord was the Pabst a beautiful little theater.

Kind of a lazy, thrown-together piece, but nice to see them getting the pub. A couple quibbles: Maybe they don't mention winning the Grammy for AGIB because it doesn't fit with the "they just might make it now!" narrative. Also, my understanding is the Tweedy fam lives in Chicago proper, not the 'burbs as indicated.

Yeah, tall people are total rude jerk line cutters. That makes sense. Ridiculous.

The hate of I'll Fight, which I think is one of the catchier tunes on the album (though not my favorite all-time Wilco song), I'll never understand. Damn good song. Solitaire is the only one on the new album that I fast forward through at this point. I'll never get the dislike of I'll Fight.

More of this? Lame.

One of my faves. I've never seen Wilco do it, but I've seen Jeff play it live at a Vic solo show a few years back.

I guess this is Uncle Tupelo, but I've been to Sauget of Sauget Wind. Also, there's another Germany reference in I'm a Wheel.

Bah. Sad, sad stuff. It feels compounded in that he never seemed to find his place in the universe after departing from Wilco, but maybe that's just a Wilco-fan-centric point of view. Love him or hate him, he was a driving force between a lot of beautiful music in the band for a good stretch.

Not working for me...

Ok, pardon me here if I'm being dense, but when I insert the dvd and click the extras link, it asks me to register for the bonus content. I filled out the registration, but still find no place to do the download. Then, when I log in, still nothing. What am I doing wrong here or are the downloadables not up yet?

I also have to admit, I listen to the drone on Less Than You Think rather than fast forwarding more often than not. It's a good drone and there's actually a lot happening sonically if you listen. I will say, too, that the drone was phenomenal at the residency.

Heh, no, but I agree with him on that one. The lyrics are downright painful.
