sweetheart-mine

thanks all, i'll keep trying. howdjadoo, how thrilling that you remember '68. wow, thought i had to be the only 1 here in my fifties, suddenly discovering "new" rock and going crazy over it. (i mean reeeaaallly crazy, far beyond "oh yah, i like that song.")

thanks so much!

i'm newbie. where is dime, and this collection you mention, which i'd like to get ...

please help?

i thought you HAD to be kidding, but googled the song and there it was in the wikipedia entry for poughkeepsie -- the first thing i've learned today. is it "city of sin" because someone thought that something actually happens on hooker avenue where i went to kindergarten. when my poughkeepsie parents wanted to impress out-of-town visitors (not often), they couldn't think of anything to do in poughkeepsie. so they'd take them to the roosevelt and vanderbilt mansions in hyde park. i'm very fond of poughkeepsie, but if jeff tweedy can take his gang there i don't know why he doesn't throw

0:50-0:54 of "war on war" there's a war on you're gonna lose (in jeff's "sunken treasure" tour dvd version)

i'm new too, and still discovering tweedy lyrics that knock my sox off, so am happy to see a thread like this. there are so many, but for tonight i have to go with: you are not my typewriter but you could be my demon moving forward through flaming doors

interesting and revealing post. two observations: 1. from what i understand of jeff tweedy and wilco, like many of us they seem less than interested in throwing darts at people according to nationality, so if you love wilco . . . 2. believe it or not, tedious playground squabbling occurs in every country, province, state, town, and neighborhood the world over. transcend it.

beautyfull!

going with the side subject of search: somewhere else on the web i was directed here to via chicago to learn more about the history and meaning behind ELT. of course, you know what happened when i typed ELT into the search box. i'm still searching searching searching. by the way, if you guys think 60 is old, i'll introduce you to my mother. i'm not 60 yet, but not all that far away, and if people in their 50s and 60s are uptight as a group, what are we doing hanging around here as rabid wilco fans just like you? wouldn't "uptight wilco fan" be an oxymoron? yah.

must be hard not to be bored after being in the same building as jay leno for more than one minute. i thought they did great, all things considered. my first choice would have been "side with the seeds," but "either way" was not a disappointment.

[quote So, anyone else have any Wilco dreams they dare to share? quote] um, share? no.

what luck, i get to wish jeff tweedy a great 40th after only recently finding him. happy birthday, jeff tweedy, from a brand-new older fan who loves your voice, your poetic lyrics both abstract and direct, your humor, your music, all of which have drawn me into a great music era that i didn't expect (or even suspect!). thank you so much. dustie p.s. they're right, you know, about 40 and beyond. new kind of freedom. edit: hey, why am i a cherry ghost? signed up as a sweetheart mine. guess i'll take what i can get.
