Robert Smith flies on planes regularly now. Also there is nothing wrong, or scary about seeing the Cure. I saw them 2 times in 2008 and it was awesome!

LOL guess my info was a tad outdated (1988)

and well as for seeing them in 2008 that's 20 years after I last saw them and well....I have moved on I guess but glad to hear Robert is over his phobia. $ has a way of doing that.

Robert Smith won't fly on an airplane. I felt that should be shared.

And yes I had noticed but tried to block it out. I did scary things in the 80's and admit to seeing the Cure 2x live.

and here is mr cline jamming out with mike and jim o'rourke

very cool and different to see Nels "jamming." He is always such a technician in Wilco.

fatter

sometimes the obvious speaks volumes. Thanks for the laugh.

Jeff-pool man (I mean really how could this not have been said already?)

Glenn-stunt double

Pat-stylist at high end salon

John-used book store owner

Mikael-sells apple computers in an apple store

Nels-bartender/cab driver

however, I think that had Jay stayed part of the band, Wilco probably would have come to an end by now and Jeff would be operating as a solo artist. I also don't think that Jay would have been happy with his position in the band. He was already struggling with his role as second-fiddle, so I can't see him being able to handle Glenn's increasing contribution to the band. Still, I enjoyed what Jay added to the band and miss it. As much as I enjoy the current line-up, especially in live performance, my favorite Wilco albums all have Jay on them.

Totally agree. And while most of my favorite music was made with Jay I will take the sacrifice of Jay for the happiness, healthiness, and longeivity of this band. That's what it boils down to for me.

Being There meets One Wing

This is my blog post where I put them up. The links should work. Feel free to peruse my other ramblings.

I enjoyed your other ramblings-espcially the comments on the Gov. of Il. Made me laugh.

Wilco Song beats them all

I am still not sure how I feel about Wilco song. It took me like 2 minutes to realize it was a real song to begin with and I'm not still not recovered from the shock of the whole thing

Probably Ashes of the American Flag and Poor Places. I picture the narrator in snowy cold conditions in both these songs. Despite the reference to air conditioned rooms in Poor Places I always imagined the narrartor when referencing having his fangs pulled as a calmed down "Jeff" after a fight with his wife and for whatever reason have always pictured him looking outside at the snow falling when he says I really want to see you tonight. Not sure why but you asked so there you have it.

One Wing has the potential to become an epic Wilco song IMO

this is great

**raises hand** Sec 3 row J

Well good things happen to people who wait...figures since I usually have no patience whatsover, but was able to grab a pair in Row E after about 100 refreshes. Things well again

Just so everybody knows: The first 4 rows (A-D) of sections 2 and 3 were not released during this presale. Cheerio!

Ahh good to know. So by that math I did get first 5 rows. Go me.

Had 4 in row J in my cart, the site updated and poof theyre gone. FUCK!

that sucks-I am in J. Especially since you would have been next to a DMB fan who has seen them 27x. Would have made for nice conversation. Your username sort of gave you away

Got row J kinda surprised I was on that site the second it went live. Hoping to get first 5 rows. Oh well 9th row works just fine. Yay Im going to see Jeff for the first time! Watched Sunken Treasure last night for inspiration to make the purchase and to make the 6 hour drive in what could be ugly weather.

Fantasy world: After a successful tour Ed O'Brien invites Jeff Tweedy and co. back to Radiohead's private studio where Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood are hanging out and they all casually bang out the best album of 2009.

I just got dizzy at your fantasy. I like the way you think

I didn't like Foellinger for a show. I felt like I was going to get an Economics lecture from that Socialist bastard Tweedy. Didn't he play Dear Employer that night, too? Typical.

I'm guessing this is sarcasm but what do people think of this venue? I'm serioulsy contemplating the 6 hour drive. Never seen Jeff solo. Kinda a must do thing for me.

I have vowed to never see a show at Foellinger again. The crowd is either really lame or pompous. Saw Weezer open for Live when I was in school and people sat down most of the time. Saw Wheatus, Harvey Danger, and SR-71 (if I remember right) and people sat again. Saw the Wilco show in 2002 and, although people did stand, we got yelled at for standing too soon. And if standing when the house lights go out means too soon... Could never figure it out being a college town and all.

 

Sorry for ranting but I have a feeling I'm about to break my vow. Haven't been down in quite some time. Heard White Horse closed.

Hummmm...well this is a tweedy solo show right? So perhaps the mellow (probably seated crowd) will make sense this time around? C'mon folks sell me on this. Tell me I should make the drive for this

I love this show and the guy in the Wilco shirt is kicking the crap out of the "experts" on the show. I'm glad someone else saw this becuase I thought it was pretty cool too.

Not that I think they'll play that one, but have you ever seen The Colbert Report?

thta's exactly what I was thinking

i hope we get some tweedy/colbert interaction too. my tv might explode of awesomeness though.

TVs are replaceable. Colbert and Tweedy interacting for our viewing pleasure is priceless.

thanks very much folks!

I would like something new but doubt it. What say you?

Oh really? Then why is she playing in the ALCS?

 

Now who's the jerk?

Ok that was funny
