holy crap, yes sir, i believe i'm older than you are, but probably by only 5 or 6 minutes. i think i'll wear a sign to the show so you'll know me. maybe i'll make the sign tonight because i don't think i'll be sleeping.

wow, you all knock my sox off! thank you so much for your encouragement and info. it makes all the difference: i am going! will try once more to get my friend to go too, but if she can't i'm still getting myself a ticket tomorrow morning. ww, i'll pm you either way -- thanks.

from hints about 2008 touring, i figured it would be a long time here in the northeast before the chance would come to see my first wilco show and what kind. ideally it would be a jeff solo show, but hey, who knows when that will happen? and who knows when i'd get to see wilco at all after 2008? maybe some of you can help me decide what to do, please? i'm in southern maine, a recent (about 6 months) magically overtaken fan of jeff tweedy and wilco. no one else i know around here is even familiar with wilco, probably because i'm past the general prime. quick synopsis: came of age

jay bennett does sing it with acoustic guitar in the dvd. i have jeff doing it with very little accompaniment, which i think i downloaded from the site i mentioned above (owl's, or someone else on this forum provided it because this is where i've gotten everything that isn't on an album). it's stored in my itunes. if someone is interested, please tell me, and you'd also have to tell me how to pass it along because i'm stupid at technology.

i've got (i think from owl/bear's site) a version that isn't acoustic, but almost. it's jeff doing vocal of course, with acoustic guitar; piano; and very light percussion.

white pants really don't cut it, but since they're wrinkled to the hilt i'll forgive it.

if i get what you're asking, i'd have to include several of jeff's sunken treasure dvd versions: sunken treasure, elt, the thanks i get, war on war, summerteeth, i am trying to break your heart, how to fight loneliness, shot in the arm, california stars, theologians. from sbs, side with the seeds, you are my face, impossible germany, sky blue sky, and on&on&on are musts. these (some from live shows and some from albums) would be crucial: pieholden suite (i love that thing!), at least that's what you said, reservations, less than you think, hell is chrome, radio cure, jesus etc.,

a jeff tweedy show in the northeast, pleeeeeeeeeeeease! i know maine would be too much to ask for, but i could travel anywhere in the northeast. i'd bring husband, friends, and anyone i can drag off the street, honest. it would be my very first jt OR wilco show, but it's jt solo that i most want to see and hear live. please jeff, think about it. we'll need a reward after this coming winter, and your show would be a major thrill for us, me especially.

you're a wicked smart and funny bunch, too. even though i don't post much, i always enjoy reading this board.

bought it via amazon last summer after my inadvertent introduction to wilco & jeff tweedy on the ovation channel (they ran "man in the sand" one night). i've heard many earlier wilco renditions of the songs on jeff's dvd since then, but honestly, no other tops jeff's solo work on the dvd. i absolutely love it. it must be the best $16.99 i ever spent.

in the vernacular, "i fixed it for ya/you." i know you sharp folks will find the fixin'. this thread is very interesting. i've had mixed impressions of nels (but i'm relatively new -- a lot newer than he is). sometimes it seems he places an electric blanket over everything else and i end up waiting until he's done. but . . . he's fantastic in "impossible germany" and in other spots on SBS, plus i absolutely love what he and glenn (not to mention jeff) do in "war on war" on jeff's "sunken treasure" dvd. it's the best "war on war" i've been able to find. great song. so i'm not th

pat looks straight out of the kinks -- a sort of rounder-haired ray davies. i get a kick out of him. i've never been to a show and can't tell pat's sound from recordings, so i don't know what would be missing if he weren't there. given jeff's depth of musicianship, it seems right to assume that pat is there for a good reason.

i always open my car windows at stoplights and blast my jeff tweedy, as either a gift or a wakeup call.

that had to be a fluke. most people i know, including myself, whatever their age, will miss guessing others' ages by around 15 years -- in either direction.

also never mind that the average "suspected terrorist" is just a "detainee" with no previous interest in radical islam who happened to be in the wrong house (probably his own) at the wrong time. but regardless, that the wrongness of torture under any circumstances is debated in this country (the u.s.) blows my mind. we have slipped, badly, and still are slipping under our so-called leaders who are driving us into the ground with their self-important tunnel vision and greedy agendas and fearmongering tactics. it's a heartbreaker. it's amazing how quickly people can get used to radical ch

that's because 38 is young. but you're right: age isn't relevant. it just eventually begins to, what, startle a person. am transcending.

this is great. honesty (or is it dumb bravado?) pays off every time. thanks people, i enjoy feeling not so alone in the decade on here. i agree about more pics, i'll get right on that.

i just turned 58, goddammit. am i the oldest hag here??? it figures; had about 3.5 adolescences. age means nothing when it comes to jefftweedywilcoandthemusic, though, which is just one of their countless beauties.

ha, what witty parents you've got! your father's impression was probably not helped by the person who did jeff's hairdo. that person ought to be fired -- too coiffed looking. he has great scraggly natural hair, they should just leave him alone. of course, maybe he did it himself. if so, i hope he stops listening to beauty operators.

of course. jeff tweedy is a highly intelligent, imaginative, and thought-provoking artist, though. i think he intends to be thought-provoking, and he has said some really fascinating, metaphoric, and ambiguous things about religion/spirituality. it seems only natural to wonder where he's coming from. no doubt one day he'd say one thing about it and the next day something else -- just as one day people can "enjoy art for what it is" and the next day wonder what worldview or ideas are behind it.

hey, i've been wondering about jeff tweedy's take on religion myself recently, and i don't view your original post as all that personal and certainly not inappropriate. it's just as interesting for public discussion as any other of the many facets of life that jeff tweedy refers to in his lyrics. why would he bother writing them if he weren't trying to engage people and make them question or ruminate? thanks to the poster who linked to the 2006 discussion on tweedy and religion. by the way, the person who started that thread, on 9/27/2006, has made 1,317 posts on this forum. it's har

from mr owl his honor. it's new to me, anyway, great job and gracias so much! it will be a very good evening in my house tonight.

jeff, if you do a solo in boston, how about jumping on up to maine? (on your way from montreal to boston, for example.) we'll treat you right and give you better food than those tacos or enchiladas or whatever out of the bus. i'd be happier than i was seeing the beatles at forest hills stadium in new york, and believe me, i was ridiculously happy then.

yah, another vote here. a solo studio album by jeff would be fantastic. i'm always trying to put some together myself, but the noise of talkers and "yow-ers" gets really old by the fifth listen, and sometimes by the first.
