As far as I'm concerned, the only thing he endorsed was his check.

5 songs, actually. Good bit.

Jeff Tweedy didn't do an ad endorsing VW. Wilco accepted money to allow VW to create an ad that features one of its songs.

Oh my.

And sometimes the truth hurts, you know.

You're a goddamn liar.

Could you please get his screen name changed so that it doesn't get confused with mine? Perhaps he could be "Mr. Wetpenny"? P.S. Could I then get my name changed to "Mrs. Wetpenny'"?

This thread is like a friendly scrimmage compared to those threads. Hitler still gets mentioned though.

Great bit.

I wonder if Jeff still feels the same way about major labels?

We're talking about how people who make money from their art are evil. (Did you see what I just did there?!? Johnny's an artist and I was making with the jest! Ha!)

I bet Jeff considered Jay Farrar one of his best friends around the time that No Depression was released. I wouldn't know, though, because I didn't start listening until Still Feel Gone.

That article isn't about trading songs for dollars with the Nazis. P.S. From the same article about file-sharing: And now Jeff has completely contradicted himself by allowing a sample of one of his songs to be heard by millions of people, free of charge. Oh, wait...

Did you post a link? Not knowing anything about the article or the interview, those quotes (answers) looked like they were given to questions about file sharing and music downloading.

Interesting question, from an interesting and handsome young man...

I was switching over to the Yankees/Blue Jays game during commericials, and I must say that steal of home had me in a near carlos-like state of glee. I believe I may have even spoken the words "this is so exciting!"

I'd like to direct a question to jnickerson... Am I wrong to read the following post as you viewing potential Wilco fans who come to the band through the VW ads as being inferior to a long-standing Uncle Tupelo and Wilco fan such as yourself?

Btw, I had a good line about Ian MacKaye allowing Five Guys to use an old Fugazi song to promote their new $5 value meals but never found a place to use it. Lacking context, it kinda sounds lame...

Can't listen to this yet...who's singing? Neko or Newman?

I had no idea and I'm touched.

If this thread was an episode of Seinfeld and A-man was George he'd have to leave the room on a high note right now. Well done.
