I love Sky Blue Sky -- it is now and will always be my favoite Wilco album. I understand that ruffles some feathers (yes, I prefer SBS to Yhf -- Shocking, but true). There's been alot of critical essays about how it pales to the others, but it really comes down to one simple thing -- that album makes me gosh-darn happy. When I'm having a bad day, nothing warms my soul more than that simple opening -- it kind of welcomes you in like Grandma with with hot, out of the overn cholcolate chip cookies and a good, rose-smelling hug. Loving W(TA) -- especially I'll Fight. And I can't wait for Bull Bl

It'sa great representation of Americna Music -- which really can;t be easirly classified as one thing. Pretty cool. Can I comment on REM picture? Great shot with Scotty M in the background. Gotta love Scotty M!

[i wonde hos much Jeff charges to babysit. In the mid-eighties, I charge $1 an hour per kid. I assume the rates have gone up.

I completely agree. Even though my ultimate fantasy is to be a friend of the band -- I'm not. I just can't help but think it's so wierd that this stuff is online. If I were famous, I would not want my personal life on You Tube. I would not want my person life on You Tube now -- just because it's so boring and would have a very low rating.

After 22 days of rain in New Jersey, I woke to the sun shining and Wilco (The Ablum) in my mail box. So -- I got in the car, put the top down, and crusied around town with my boys' music "filling up my car." After weeks of rain and stress at work, it feels so good to finally be in a good mood,. I hope every one is in a good mood too! Love the band photos! Think my favorite song is I'll Fight.

AM - Pick Up the Change BT - Outta Site ST - Via Chicago YFT - I Am Trying to Break your heart AGIB - A Company in My Back SBS - You Are My Face W(TA) -- After only a few listens, I'd say Bull Black Nova. But that may change after consective listens when I get my copy

Barbkm, sadly I am only vaguely aware of these John and Kate people are, but I seriously found your last paragraph to be hysterical and spot on. The decline of mainstream music magazines over the last few decades has been extremely depressing. Thanks Mike.

Was bored today and found this on the Onion site, it's from 08, so it may be old news. http://www.theonion.com/content/radio_news...teen_introduces

Jeff must have shaved his chest for this. Friggen funny! Ya know, Wilco is only good for those short one column features that focus on the less poppy, more rockin originals. It's sad the RS has gone from featuring the real influencial, important artists that define an era. Pretty soon, Jon & Kate will be on the cover discussing the music the kids listen to during the divorce. "That Aiden seems to gravitate toward Radionhead, while Mady favors Rammstein." Oh-- hate Kate now. Can't watch that show, even tough I love that Aiden.

But hey -- hot girl on girl action while listening to Wilco would be fun!! Enought booze and work Jeff T into that equation, I could switch. But, he'd never cheat on his wife -- it would break my heart if he was that kind of guy did, even if it was with me. I also don't go for married guys, probably could get some it I went that route, though. Poor, pitiful me

[ But hey -- hot girl on girl action while listening to Wilco would be fun!! If we could work Jeff T into that equation, I would totally be in. (But, he's not the kind of guy who'd cheat on his wife -- it'd break my heart if he was -- even if it was with me. But I do not go for married guys -- I could probably get some if I considered that route. Poor, pitiful me )

I've done some many of these things: mutiple copies of albums - check; being late to meetings cos I'm ordering tickets - check: buying tickets for 3x as much for better seat, than selling the first for the original price and losing like $200 in the process - check and check; standing in the rain for three hours outside the tour bus - check; satongin in the hot sun for tthree hours before the doors open - check; working Wilco into all those inane team building activities at work - check; decked out in Wilco apparel from head to toe - check; jealous of Chicago citizens - check. Don't know if I

If I got laid every once and awhile I probably wond not be so obssessed with Wilco

Been there -- done that

Imagine the dilema I had at 8:40 on Wednesday night when I saw that the album was streaming -- 20 minutes before the Lost season finale. I had to choose between my two greatest loves.

If Jeff wore the same wool hat year after year after year, oh, wait a minute.....

[That's f-ing funny

All the best people were born in May Thanks for the note and icons -- I love daning smily faces!

I'm celebrating by starting a blog. Here's the link, don't feel compelled to read it. It's just sort of a dumping ground for my thoughts. I've only three posts so far, and two readers (two of my closest friends). Any who -- figured I would try to get a wider distribution. It's called, "Big Bear and the Angry Chicken" -- and you'll have to read it to learn why. http://bigbearandtheangrychicken.blogspot.com/ Cheers!

And really, realygood looking. Yowza!

We must have been right next to each other cos was just looking at your pictures and they are so similar to mine from that night, just alittle bit closer. Sigh -- can't wait for the next show, Wappingers Falls, here I come!

This was my first Wilco concert -- so it was very special. I saw Chris Cimino -- NBC weather man -- on line. In the second picture, I'm the woman with the brown hair right in front of Nels and John. I was very happy with Spiders. Kingpin ws great. I even took some great picture of Jeff, but did not save them to my computer. Remember Jeff's line about the horn players , who he said they picked up hitchhiking on 95. "We told them we'd give them a ride if they gave us a blow job." Are any of the folks who braved the cold and the rain outside the tour bus reading this? I think I had more fun

But then you figure six guys in the band, plus the crew, plus the equipment, plus the buses, plus the wear and tear in the buses, plus hotels, plus food, plus managers, publicists, booking agents, plus mortgages, plus wives and kids, plus private school, plus health insurance, life insurance,ccar insurance, car payment ....AND GUITARS.
