I'm not positive, but I believe he had surgery for a Deviated Septum. It's referred to as Septoplasty and/or Turbinate Reduction. Trust me, without getting into the gory details, the surgery sucks. I had it done as a treatment for Sleep Apena and it did not work. I would have better luck getting rid of Sleep Apena if I would just stay away from the beer, wine and chocolate chip cookies! In Jeff's case, I thought his giving up smoking did more to releive his migranes than the surgery. But giving up smoking usually leads to chocolate chip cookies, so go figure.

OK, my two cents worth: If you are looking for a quieter mix: I'm Always In Love - Solo Live Acoustic version (from some of the early taped shows that were done) Cars Can't Escape - From the YHF Engineer Demos ( a better version in my opinion) At My Window Sad & Lonely (Solo Acoustic version) Ashes Of American Flags (Live In Chicago version) Hesitating Beauty Reservations Please Tell My Brothers (Golden Smog) Love & Mercy (Golden Smog) If you are looking for more up-tempo stuff: Won't Let You Down (from YHF sessions) Hey Chicken (Loose Fur) Thanks I Get (I'm a sucker for this

Um, this is gonna probably be the equivalent to throwing gasoline on a fire, but I just saw a commercial for this month's movies on the American Movie Classic network and the clips were set to What Light. Now I really wonder about commercial several weeks ago on the MHD channel in which the artwork was very reminiscent of the SBS cover art. I watch way too much TV...

Does anyone get MHD? Its a High Definition combo/version of MTV, VH1 & CMT. I was watching it last night and there is a animated commercial for the network and parts of it that look VERY similar to the cover for the new Wilco album. I actually thought it was a commercial for the album, not the network. I wonder if this is by accident or by design?

Uh, am I just being stupid by stating what I think is the meaning of this song? Jeff Tweedy is singing from the point of view of Christ: Theologians don't know nuthin 'bout my soul (conventional religion) No one's ever gonna take my life from me - I lay it down (death on a cross) A ghost is born (holy spirit / Easter) Maybe its just my Catholic upbringing and my take on the song is too simplistic. But it puts the song in a whole diiferent light. I also have been thinking that Tweedy is talking from the perspective of his mother on "Please Be Patient With Me' and "On and On" from the new a

OK, my two cents worth on this album: Like the two preceeding it, I did not like it the first time around. Believe it or not, I felt that way about YHF the first time I heard it (playing it while painting my laundry room). Then I heard some reviewer mention 9/11 when talking about this album and it forever felt like a soundtrack to that horrible day. And then one morning, I listened to it straight thru while driving it work and suddenly I got it. I then proceeded to drive everyone nuts talking way too much about Wilco & this album. AGIB then could not be anything but a disappointment afte

I'm 50 (NOOOOOOO!). The music I loved as a teenager is now fodder for TV commercials - everyone has sold out. Married 20 years next year. Work as a Project Manager/Analyst for a CUSO. First heard Jeff on Golden Smog's Down By The Old Mill Stream a CD I picked up from Columbia House CD/Tape Club (yes, I was a member) on sale, but it didn't really register. I think I caugt the video V on VH1's Crossroads which is why I bough the cd. I recall loving the Son Volt Drown video that was rotated a great deal on that show. Also vaugely remember seeing Wilco on HBO's Reverb series. Probably got into
