Adorable.

A huge welcome to the board to all the Aussies who are new here! I love that mental picture, and in fact as that line came up, I flashed on previous concerts & Jeff raising his fist at thatpoint, and I was so caught up in my computer concert that I raised my fist and punched it in the air right along with him, across all the miles around the world.... ......earning me a "boy my mom is a dork" look (but also a grin) from my kiddo. I'm sure a recording is going to emerge...looks like the Col. got it..... http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?sho...7989&st=200 4th post d

Chris, I guess it's just the age-old problem of reading tone in a print medium. I didn't take that line as being serious in the least! If I had, I'd have felt very differently & said, "Whoa, Nelly, hie thee unto thy wife's side, fool!" But how I read it was as Tucker gently & laughingly poking fun at himself....."Sheesh, am I having a mid-life crisis?" I also felt the comment referred more to Wilco, and wanting to start going to concerts more, than to the lady coworker. I've just re-read it and maybe it does refer to the coworker, but the writing, being of a stream-of-consciousness

I get your point, Gary, and I'll take you at your word. I felt like the guy was just sharing a tough situation. I didn't have the sense fluids were going to be exchanged, and he & the coworker didn't actually have a mutual love of Wilco....she was kinda "meh", remember? But yeah, he was saying how Wilco's music was tied up to this friendship in his mind. So again, I get your point. I still just see this as a meaningful friendship (realizing I could be wrong) and if that's the case (as it well could be) then some of the posted comments are on the mean side. But I guess people might feel t

Oh, I would absolutely agree with that, but I just re-read Tucker's entire initial post, and other than him asking the coworker if she'd like to go to the Wilco show if his wife doesn't want to, I don't see anything where he comments on being unable or unwilling to discuss things with his wife. I don't think it's particularly a problem that he mentions the Wilco concert to his coworker....I got the sense that of course his wife was his first choice for a companion, but that he sensed she didn't enjoy it all that much. In that case, he might want to ask someone else....who likes to go to a conc

Gary, I feel as Johnny does. I don't object to your opinion of the guy....that you are totally entitled to....I just felt that you were unnecessarily harsh & bordering on personal attack. Maybe I misread your sentiments and they weren't as harsh as they read (although serious & not meant in jest)? If so, I'm sorry for that, but to me it read as being harsh and mocking toward the guy, who was, after all, just telling his story. However much it may smack to some of this "emotional affair" or sliding that direction, I think other possibilities exist, such as a good and truly supportive

Shoot, I was having to be in & out of the room during Walken, what was the change? Enquiring minds wanna know.

I don't think it was you, Aaron...there were a couple of minor clicks in the webcast. Thanks for recording! Can't wait to hear it again!

I don't see it this way at all. How Wilco affects someone's life is definitely "connected" to Wilco. You are of course entitled to your opinion, but there's room here at VC for several types of people.... I say live & let live. Intolerance has been done to death.

Thank you so much, Wilco, Froggie, and friends. It's great spending time with you.

Damn. I hate when the magic ends for another night. Or morning.....whatever it is....

I'll bet they just scared the crap outta some in the audience, and woke all of us up all the way! (With that wunnerful burst back into Spiders I mean)

You're right....too funny!

Welcome to our wake-up party, Kalle! Have some special coffee and a poptart once you stop pogoing to this....

Love the transition into Spiders!!

I don't think they'll end with this. I think they might do Acuff-Rose or possibly On & On & On.

Wow, this is being a really long & generous set! Who's got a count on how many songs so far? Have we gotten more songs or more "nothings"? I'm sure it's all for Froggie, and he deserves it.

Hello Vanessa! And so we share another concert! I love that Jeff is playing California Stars for me & his other CA fans. (obviously!) Have some of this special coffee I made, Vanessa, and pass this plate of poptarts around to Finn & Lily & Mike...

Hi Mikeo & Finneo!

John....Pat too?

Who else has been yelling ARGH! at their computer? (In a happy pirate-y way)

Froggie's a star!!!!!

Yep, that lucky amphibian.

Yippee, the liar's song!

They're b-a-a-ack....
