Cruel To Be Kind is one of my all-time favorite songs... what a badass version this is!

$500.

Thanks for all the responses, y'all. Looks like I've got a buyer, and I'm really pleased it's staying in the "family," as it were. For the curious, here's a picture:

About this time last year I was the elated winner of the Wilco Haiku contest. The band very generously awarded me a 2009 faded-series Gibson SG, signed by everyone in the band, and I was gobsmacked. I had been having trouble coming up with the money for a new guitar, which I badly needed, so winning the contest was incredibly lucky for me. After having played the guitar for a few months early last year, I came to the conclusion that it wasn't really what I was looking for. I gave myself a "beggars can't be choosers" speech for a while and stuck with it. Though I am a Wilco fan and genuinely

Thanks. It's true, I tend to be more of a reader than a poster, but I've been kicking around the halls for a while. (Had to recreate my profile kinda recently, so some of my older posts are no longer noted). Glad you liked the tune, too.

Just added Careless Hearts to the site... cool idea. http://iacmusic.com/artist.aspx?ID=145847

Man oh man, I have to respectfully disagree. Opinion only of course, but mine is that MA2 is the superior album. Airline to Heaven, Feed a Man, Remember the Mountain Bed... those are some of my favorite Wilco songs. And I love My Flying Saucer, too. I'm sure that debate has probably been done to death here, so whatever. Just had to stand up in support of a record I love. : ) Can anyone summarize what the beef was between Tweedy and Bragg, and why the parting was "acrimonious"?

Really? They've played it every time I've seen them, I'm pretty sure. (I've only seen them 5 times, but still...) Lists like this are tough. My first stab: 1. She's a Jar 2. The Lonely One 3. Theologians 4. Jesus, Etc.

Thanks everybody. I'll do my best to do right by the gift.

Here's me and my sweet new Wilco SG... so stoked! Rehearsed with it last night: it's a keeper.

Thanks! And yeah, I know what you mean. I guess I'll just see how I feel after I get it. I suspect my desire for a new instrument will outweigh my desire for memorabilia, though it may be too cool a thing not to display it somewhere in between gigs. I'll report back, after I have a chance to play it!

Hi folks. I'm stoked beyond belief: I'm the guy who won the guitar. The crazy thing is that I entered the contest specifically *because* I really need a new guitar. I'm in a band, we've been writing some more "rock" sounding stuff, and the hollow-body I've been playing for years just doesn't have the crunch I want. I expect that problem has just been solved, courtesy of one of my all time favorite bands. I joined this forum a bunch of years ago but forgot my login, so I just rejoined today. It's fair to say my feelings for Wilco have deepened significantly in the last day. : ) Congrats
