Trump can CHOOSE to be gracious and try to find middle ground. But he CAN do whatever he...and the Republican Congress...wants to do. He's gonna end up with 306 electoral votes, which isn't dominant, but pretty convincing. Clinton DID win the popular vote by over 600K. Amazingly, she beat Trump by over 2.4 million votes in California. Take away LA County, and Clinton loses the popular vote by 500K. Take away Manhattan island and the Bronx and she loses the popular vote. (In Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn, Clinton won over 80% of the vote! In those 4 counties, she beat Trump by

I've got zero problem with people peacefully protesting. I just think it's kinda sour grapes. He didn't cheat his way to victory. He won. Sucks for those who despise him, but that's too bad. It appears many millennials, among other groups, chose to not vote. Perhaps, if they were THAT fearful of a Trump presidency, they shoulda got to the polls. In 4 years, they'll get the chance to vote Trump out.

Whether people like it or despise it, Trump won the election fair and square. To me, the protestors looked like babies throwing a temper tantrum.

Pretty much agree. Summer teeth and Being There are both outstanding for me (these 2, the Mermaid records, and the YHF demos was an incredible creative stretch for Wilco). And, for me as, a selfish listener and not a member of the band, I wish Bennett and Tweedy coulda put more records out. Much more importantly, I wish Bennett coulda got through whatever it was that led to his demise.

Crass or Corrupt? Tough call.

Morrissey's most recent record is really good. I can't decide which and how many of his new songs would shove out my original Top 5 Morrissey songs. So I'll list my 5 favorite "World Peace Is None Of Your Business" songs: 1. I'm Not A Man 2. Staircase At The University 3. Mountjoy 4. Oboe Concerto 5. Art Hounds

Butthead: Huh huh huh. He said 'fuck you' to Trump'. Bevis: He he yeah. Patterson's cool.

It has nothing to do with Liberal or Conservative. I just think it's way too preachy. "What It Means" is a doozy of an eye-roller. "Puttin' People On The Moon" could be considered a great political song. "Sands Of Iwo Jima" and "Used To Be A Cop" also. But I like them cause their sympathetic, mini stories about characters. They don't seem as cliched. Songs like "Zip City", "Space City", "Danko/Manuel", "Ronnie & Neil", "Decoration Day", "Where's Eddie", "Pulaski", "Primer Coat", I could go on.

Ramon Casiano is great. Some great sounds all throughout the record. The lyrics overall are a little too preachy for my taste.

Been listening to "Away", Okkervil River's newest. REALLY great in my opinion. Pretty sounding musically and lyrically interesting. Anybody who wants a taste of it, search for the recent WFUV performance of "Judey On A Street" on Youtube. Wow.

I don't need to be grilled or should I be expected to defend everything YOU don't like. I will not vote for Hillary. I've had enough of the Clintons. Don't trust them. I don't plan to vote for Trump either.

My exact words were, "I'm 'undecided', but the condescending tone of Mrs. Clinton...as well as most Democrat/liberal voters....towards Republican voters MIGHT be enough to make me go vote Trump." "MIGHT" is bolded. It was a little tongue in cheek. Combining Obama's arrogance and dismissal of Trump, and Obama's seeming unawareness that he himself could possibly be causing any of the country's divide, along with Hillary's laughing-off of those who oppose her, is a bit irritating. There ARE people out here who wonder what it might be like to NOT have another 4 years of Obama, which is essential

The tone of your email fits how I feel MANY Democrats think of Conservatives....they're dumb (don't know what xenophobe means) and fat (Cheetos reference). I'm "undecided", but the condescending tone of Mrs. Clinton...as well as most Democrat/liberal voters....towards Republican voters MIGHT be enough to make me go vote Trump. I think many others feel the same way. There are MANY educated, not-fat voters who are GENUINELY perplexed. For MANY, Trump ain't no joke....and it's almost 100% because Hillary is the other choice. She is FAR from a candidate to WANT to go vote for. Compared to her

Conversing DURING a song SHOULD be a no-no, like sitting in a movie theater. But shouting out between songs, to me, is fair game. It's similar to shouting positive or negative things at a baseball game after each pitch/hit/play.

I like that. Also, the extreme wacky right don't hold a monopoly on being "deplorable". It could be argued that many on the extreme left fall in the same category. I know people who will vote for Trump. To my knowledge, they are NONE of the labels listed above. I think it's greatly unfair and somewhat offensive. Personally, I think many feel Obama isn't a strong leader. They are forced to decide between 2 not-great candidates. Many think Trump is the stronger of the 2.

I get people wanting to vote AGAINST Trump, but I don't get people who want to vote FOR Hillary. I guess I'm in Camp Undecided. I think BOTH are extremely flawed.

People pay good money to go to concerts. If they want to shout out non-offensive observations or comments between songs, so be it. Not disparaging Tweedy, but rather sticking up for the audience. Any celebrities in the audience?

South Park weighs in tomorrow night on Kaepernick in their season premiere. This should be good.

Michel Gondry made a really cool video for the wonderful new song "City Lights" off of Jack White's acoustic recordings. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/see-michel-gondrys-video-for-white-stripes-city-lights-w439041 Jack White also sang on Jimmy Fallon last Friday...."Love Is The Truth" (penned for Coca-Cola) and an emotional rendition of "You've Got Her In Your Pocket". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbDrtUZGHPA

The NFL does a GREAT job of honoring veterans. Maybe it's partly because it's a physical sport and almost military-ish in how teams are run. Many, if not all teams, often have fly-overs using stealth bombers before the game while honoring veterans. To me....maybe I'm in the minority...the national anthem before a football game feels like a tribute to those who fought and fight for our country. That's all I think about...my dad or grandpa or family member or friend who was or is in the military. I think the NFL should, like the NBA, instruct all players they must stand. But they don't. Kaeper

Once at a football game, I had just finished talking with a friend, and spaced out the fact that I had a cap on my head as the national anthem started. A guy in front me, VERY angrily, said "remove your hat...show some respect"! It kind of rattled me and pissed me off for a second. I had no ill intent. At all. But thinking about it, I quickly appreciated what he said. I have no problem with Kaepernick or whoever wanting to shine a light on injustice. I just think sitting during the national anthem specifically, especially during an NFL game, is disrespectful, and I have no problem with

Right now, if I had to make a silly ranking amongst Wilco records, it'd make my top half: 1. Summerteeth - "Quirky" 2. Being There - "Antique" 3. A Ghost Is Born - "Real" 4. YHF - "Cohesive" 5. Schmilco - "Impressive" 6. Sky Blue Sky - "Pretty" 7. A.M. - "Comfortable" 8. The Whole Love - "Parts" 9. Star Wars - "Aggressive" 10. Wilco (The Album) - "Variety"

Both Stereogum and Rolling Stone think Tweedy's lyrics reference Trump...."We Aren't The World" (Stereogum thinks he's singing about a "tough-guy" candidate like Reagan or Trump) and "Cry All Day" (Rolling Stone thinks the liberal Tweedy is singing about Trump supporters). I've listened to the record many times and NEVER thought of ANY political candidate. Now maybe I will. Crap. Thanks critics. (Not.)
