Jeff Tweedy (Band) — 9 November 2025, Tulsa, OK (Cain's Ballroom)
sonicshoulder replied to bböp's topic in After The Show
(sadly, one that's not all that uncommon these days). There was a guy at the Louisville show who had succumbed to a folding chair, paralyzed from the top of his cranium down despite attempts by his two companions to lift him. Perhaps Jeff should start issuing a pre-show P.S.A. "folks, if you eat a gummy and it hasn't kicked in yet....maybe give it another 15 minutes before doubling up(or down)." -
My first show on what I have dubbed the "Tweedy School of Rock" Tour(no disrespect to the obviously very talented but young accompanying musicians). Super fun show. I took a friend who would classify as a casual Wilco fan, and not familiar with Jeff's solo work whatsoever....he had a blast. Very talented group of musicians as I said but Sima Cunningham is an absolute powerhouse. Stole the show for me. My buddy quipped a couple times "who is the guy that sings and plays lead in her band". I feel like I saw the most genuine "stage smiles" from Jeff that I have seen in a long time. He appears

Has Jeff ever discussed the meaning of Ashes of American Flags?
sonicshoulder replied to Winghead's topic in Just A Fan
I was half way through this thread before I realized I was reading posts from 15 years ago! Man, you guys are old! -
Spoiler alert!!!! They are not listed chronologically!!!! Number one may surprise some people. I can tell you 10 years ago it would have started a viral riot on this beautiful website.

Is there really not a Band of Horses thread in here somewhere? I'm a big fan. Saw them the other night for maybe the 8th or 10th time. They never disappoint. Ben is an incredible front man. Genuinely very grateful and interactive. Total "guitar band" that I think get overlooked in that regard. Tons of sound live. Aside from "Mirage Rock" all of their albums rate very close for me...tough to pick a favorite. If there is already a Band of Horses thread in here please forgive me...if there is already a Band of Horses thread in here and I started or commented in it please ridicule me.

Can We Talk about Politics & Stay Civil?
sonicshoulder replied to kidsmoke's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
I am amazed how many people in my life(red and blue) genuinely believe "their" party has their best interests in mind. These are peoples whos opinions I respect on most matters but when it comes to politics are so irrational and completely unable to think independently. I lost faith in the entire system years ago. I know some people think this is a cop out and not voting is wasting your vote but supporting people you don't trust or like to me is worse. In my life I have voted "for" a president just once...that was Obama's first term. All of my other presidential votes in my lifetime were my -
Interesting observation that I hadn't made but is definitely true. Each little sub-story is so good and then they all tie together very intricately. My wife came in late to the show and I didn't really even know where to start in telling her what was going on.

"The White Lotus"...multiple thumbs up

"Paris, Texas". Had never seen it but it is referenced in songs by two of my favorite artists so I needed to see what it was all about. "Val" on Amazon. A documentary on Val Kilmer by Val Kilmer. He has been documenting his own life since childhood on home videos and compiled them for this film. Very interesting imo

Can we just go ahead and change the name of this thread to "What Chez is listening to today?". He is the Lou Gehrig of Now Playing.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2021 Nominees
sonicshoulder replied to calvino's topic in Someone Else's Song
Play my curmudgeon card here and just ask in what world does Jay-Z belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Why not Taylor Swift next, or Randy Travis, or Skrillex? Is Eddie Vedder eligible for the Country Music Hall of Fame? Now, get off my lawn. -
I've watched Do The Right Thing twice in the last month. It's a modern masterpiece. Beyond the just ridiculously talented (mostly young) cast the story is eerily relevant and the set is just really colorful and vibrant. It is a visually pleasing movie (or joint as Spike would say) with great characters and performances.

As a proud Kentuckian I have to say I feel your pain. If we make the news it usually not flattering and we are popular punchlines for most jokes relating to illiteracy, obesity and incest. Being said I absolutely love my state and all of its unique areas. We have some of the best scenery in the world, its cheap and people for the most part really look out for each other. I've actually been asked numerous times by visitors or transplants "why is everyone so nice?"...like its offending them that everyone is so nice!!!
