I've gone 2013, 2015, 2017 and I'm mulling 2019. Dream team: Wilco Uncle Tupelo Billy Bragg Son Volt The Jayhawks Richard Buckner Old 97's ok, that'd be enough....

Good chance he's going to prison.

RA is the quite possibly the most overrated songwriter ever. "Strangers Almanac" with Whiskeytown is a great record, but once he lost those great collaborators, it was nothing but formulaic, bland, garbage. People held him up as a songwriter for the generation which is simply hilarious. One or two good moments on "Heartbreaker" followed by an endless flood of utter crapola. And he may have the most grating, self-absorbed personality of anyone in music. Ugh, those tight "metal" t-shirts - what a tool.

Ain't gonna lie, I think I'd be okay with a shakeup. Not sure I could stomach a Stirratt dismissal (highly doubt that's coming), but seeing Jeff with the Tweedy band, and the band he performed with on Kimmel, has been very refreshing. I've always been a Bennett-era purist (favorite lineup being Bennett, Stirratt, Egan, Coomer), and although I've enjoyed this current lineup, it's gotten a little stale. Like, whenever I see the Glenn standing on the kit routine, or Nels on "Impossible Germany" (which is admittedly great), a part of me wants to put that to rest. Jeff seems energized by the side p

Some thoughts: https://www.autumnsouvenir.com/blog/our-heroes-and-us

I thought it was ok. Clearly new, unrehearsed material. Got a few laughs, though, Jeff was clearly funnier.

All good points. And yeah, if this guy had already egged Jeff on, then it justifies Jeff’s reply a bit more. I honestly agreed with Jeff’s response as it was a a moronic question. For some reason, I just felt for the dude. But he did ask the question, so I guess it is on him. In terms of Son Volt, I’ve read that Jeff has listened to Jay’s work post-UT so I’m genuinely interested in his take. I could see that as a good one-on-one question but maybe too delicate in a full room. And yeah, he could misconstrue it as a snide question. Also agree that I take this stuff too seriously . I feel

And does anyone know if he was serious about Warmer/another solo record? I couldn't tell if he was kidding or not.

I thought it was a great show. I actually look just as forward to Jeff's banter in these settings, as I do the music. He's hilarious and often has some great back/forth, and unpredictable, exchanges with the audience. I will say, for the first time, I felt a little bad for an audience member. When Jeff was eliciting questions from the audience, one dude barked out, "Will you sign my audiobook?" A dumb remark, without a doubt, but Jeff kinda embarrassed him. I'm sorta paraphrasing here, but he waited a second or two and then shot back, "I won't even respond to that. I'm sure you're already regr

Great review of the show. The heckler is on Twitter bashing Tweedy. Appears to be a run-of-the-mill Trump supporter.
