A Ghost is Born won 2 grammys...the 2nd was for the album art.

I'm thankful for all of the wonderful people I've met through Wilco's music. It amazes me sometimes, how many friendships have evolved through this board! You are dear to me. Yes, you. I'm so grateful for all the love of my family and our beloved pets, and for all the twists and turns of life that keep it so interesting of a roller-coaster ride. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, everyone, and remember to give more weight to the blessings and less to the hardships. These aren't easy times, but we all have some really sublime blessings. I'm trying to learn to put the focus there. Love to you al

I'm so sorry for your loss, Tweedys. Losing a beloved pet is one of life's hardest passages. They give their love so freely, and leave such an empty place when they're gone. Cutty had such a long life, and was undoubtedly showered with love for all those 20 years. Peace to you all.

I hope someone out there has an extra or 3 that they'd like to sell! Had computer woes this morning and missed out completely! My kiddos and I need to be at the Wiltern on the 25th...please help if you can!

That was a terrific interview, and a great little video clip! I love hearing them talk about their committment to their fans. So genuine.

Nicely put, Autumnteeth. For me, "Dawned on Me" is about real triumph, finding love in life by remembering to appreciate what we have and constantly trying to renew love.

That's how I've heard it from the first.

Good duct-tape restoration work, Amaranthine! You must've been a man in a previous life...repairing stuff with duct tape seems to be encoded into all male DNA. It's not pretty, but it sure does work in a pinch. A dear friend who is far craftier than I once made me a cool duct tape purse (red & black duct tape) and a beautifully detailed "kidsmoke" wallet, using multiple colors of duct tape. It's a thing of beauty! Ack, Crow, this story made me cringe just reading it!!! Reminded me of my college student days when I once sliced the hell out of the inside of my thumb. I was washing a

Oh, Jay! My sympathies to you both, how horrible! Much love to you and yours.

That's classic Riviera, Derek! Just gorgeous. I'll look forward to more in time for my January birthday! Oh and Drinkify recommends: “The Riviera” •8 oz. Sipsmith Gin •8 oz. Ice Cream Combine in highball glass and serve. to go with that.

I'll join in the JC Brooks appreciation from Solid Sound. It was a solid set. Smooth and syncopated stuff. (See how I got all alliterative there? Probably the influence of the Thomas Jefferson bio I just finished.)

Excellent save! Why would your 5-yr-old doubt your gluing powers? (Has she seen you attach yourself to stuff in the past?)

You know you have stories. I don't know what we did before this stuff was invented, but I know what we've been doing ever since, and that is sticking stuff together that we didn't intend to stick together. Body parts, for instance. You do get better at using superglue with experience. But nothing quite beats the feeling, does it, when you realize, "Great! I've repaired the object beautifully, except that I am now attached to it." Share your superglue stories! I once glued the side of my tongue to my teeth. I was holding the tube in my teeth while handling the item I was trying to app

I haven't put out the halloween candy yet because my own kids will eat it all before any trick-or-treaters get here! I think my favorite costume was when we dressed Brennan as a movie theatre floor....black sweats with all kinds of smashed drink cups and empty candy boxes attached, stray bits of candy, and spilled popcorn everywhere, including a bunch in his spiked (it was the fashion then) hair. He looked amazing. Walking cinemuck. This year Alissa is using her blonde hair and blue eyes to good advantage, going as Alice in Wonderland. Brennan is going as an urbane horse-about-town, with a

This is so beautiful!

That's a terrific dress!

Well, sure, if you read the analogy literally. I took it that the poster was saying, "Those hipsters who only like hoppy beers do so without realizing the subtleties of other types of beer." I see your point. I guess I just interpreted his point differently. But I suppose hipsters have different tastes in beer, yeah. I think this is mostly semantics. Maybe he should have worded it differently.

What do you see as short-sighted, about it? Seriously curious. Seemed very sensible to me.

I like this post & agree.

You beat me to it...I was going to say the same! The Ernie Graham is something I've heard of but don't have. Sounds like something I ought to hunt up.

God loves confetti & balloons, so how could He not show up?

I'm really enjoying this thread. I'm another Gordon Lightfoot fan. And my husband smoked somethingsomething with him once years ago, after a show. Said he was a good guy.

OMG, you too? I really liked the naming part. We had these certificates lining the top of the chalkboard across the whole front of the room! I wonder how "our" babies turned out. Laden with Catholic guilt perhaps? And strange names like Mick or Ringo? What in tarnation is that little white kid feeding those babies?

How's it working now for all of you? Better I hope?

But seriously! How cool!!!
