Dude

I hate to be the first one to break this to you, but wrestling is fake. There, I said it.

A possible method to Dylan's madness: http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/bob_dylan/news/13477 Bob Dylan could have been on his way to visit Bruce Springsteen’s old home when he was picked up by police last month. Residents in Long Branch, New Jersey called the cops when they saw a scruffy looking man wandering the streets in the rain. Dylan claims he was just going for a walk but he was close to the house where Springsteen wrote ‘Born to Run’ and ‘Thunder Road’. The singer has also visited the childhood homes of Neil Young and John Lennon in the past year. Police officer Kirstie Buble di

I stumbled this across this on Youtube, excellent cover of Either Way by some Israeli musicians:

This was a pretty guitar: and apparently it's a pretty rare one - a 1930s Gibson Kel Kroydon. Anyone have $5,500 lying around? http://www.gbase.com/gear/kel-kroydon-gibson-l-00-1934-natural-birds

6'5" people are pretty rude, but not nearly as rude as 6'6" people, which would explain why Michael Jordan was such a ball hog.

I've really won over a lot of hearts and minds on this one.

6'5 was pretty random, I apologize to anyone who happens to be 6'5" reading this, I am not 6'5"-ist.

Yeah, those are some great photos. It seems so weird how this guy: is less than two years removed from this guy:

Yeah, of course, I resent anyone who elbows / cuts ahead, period, regardless of their height.

Yeah, I agree, assuming that he waited there for 5 hours or whatever. It's just nice to be respectful of everyone around you, I think. I've offered for shorter people to move ahead of me and they've happily taken it, and I'm far from an NBA player myself.

The short people aren't blocking the five or six people behind them, though. There's these things that are called light rays, and they, lo and behold, are actually blocked by physical bodies as they bounce off the various band members of the stage on their safe and hopefully unobstructed journey to the audience members below. Believe it or not, 6'5" guy actually prevents several people behind him from receiving those light rays. I know this is a bit difficult to grasp...

The shorter people are waiting just as long as the tall people, though, and it's often just a matter of how people rush in after the gate that determines who is directly in front of you. Lots of people cut ahead in the GA area regardless of how early they got there. I don't think I've ever seen a tall guy who didn't cut or push ahead of other people in order to stake out his spot, and this usually pisses people off more than the simple fact that he's tall to begin with.

Because they can get just as clear of a view of the stage five or ten rows back. If I were that tall, I'd be a bit more respectful of the people behind me. Most don't seem to give a shit, though.

Is it me or has the overall rudeness at Wilco and solo Tweedy shows has died down quite a bit over the years? By rudeness, I mean a pretty wide gamut of inconsiderate behavior which includes talkers during songs, request-shouters during songs, people who go "WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!" the entire time even during the quieter songs, the shushers who are just as annoying as the whoopers, the cell-phone talkers, the 6'5 tall guys who decide they need to be front and center, people who are overly impressed with their iPhones / Crackberries, the inebriated jerks, etc. The whooper / shusher battle seems t

Single most important figure in the history of recorded music? Probably.

It's a bit late on this one, but I've noticed every Presale and Sale seems to go live 5 minutes prior to the On-sale time - 9:55 AM. With that in mind, I'd start hitting refresh well before 10 AM.

"If you’re strung out like a kite" may not be the most kid-friendly lyric. And don't get me started on the VU and Bowie songs.

Outside of the pyro, this pretty much describes a Wilco show.

There's a video somewhere on Youtube of Fake Plastic Trees during one of the 7 Worlds Collide shows with Tweedy on vocals and Liam Finn on lead guitar. He goes completely bonkers during it.

Wilco's Chicago Opener

So that's what that is. Very cool article.

If the suits weren't gawdy, I think the band would have to ask for their money back. They could do worse:

Agreed. I thought the back and forth ball-busting between Peter (ripping on the self-titled album and "82 former members of Wilco") and Jeff (calling him the "burger commercial guy") was pretty hilarious.
