I remember seeing that. What I read from Jeff when he made that statement was that it has nothing to do with his bass playing (although on the Art of Almost it is mind-blowing), but I think Jeff needs him there for personal reasons. Jeff is very intense, and John is very laid back. They need that balance to make the band work. That's exactly why Jay Bennett didn't work out.

I've listened to this song about 65 times in a row. I barely slept last night. This is definitely one of the best songs they have ever written.

I've heard Jeff fly the "F" bomb onstage and in Ashes of American Flags as well. I wouldn't my kids to hear that. Usually, if they label the show "kid friendly," he'll keep it tame. I just don't think a concert is a place for a five year-old. There are people drinking, smoking weed and cursing. No matter how tame Wilco is, you never know how the crowd will be.
