And Pervert, leave the bobbobs alone as well.

Let's dial down the personal attacks, what say? I don't think anyone is particularly trying to be any of these obscenities being bandied about, I think we all just feel that we need more Wilco in our lives, live & in concert. Is that such a bad thing? Personally, I think it's high time we saw more Wilco in California..... But seriously, all, let's just take a big step back from the ugly sniping, which flatters no one, and let's try for a bit more tolerance and friendship. VC is a nicer place to visit when we all practice some "live & let live" attitudes. Thank you.

Dear Via Chicago membership, I've just received a message from Susan Tweedy, and with the greatest sadness, I share it with all of you: "I just wanted to let you know the sad news that Jeff's mom passed away yesterday. I thought maybe you could let people know on the board somehow. I think the well wishes of the community might make Jeff feel a little better. He's not going to cancel the tour-his mom would definitely want him to play!" I'm at a loss for words, other than to say that I grieve deeply for anyone who knew and loved her. Each of us here at Via Chicago who loves Jeff's musi

So, this is very sweet & made my day. And to think that a few of you even agreed (and the rest of you managed to hold your tongues and apple chunks!).....seriously, I'm touched. Also, I'm in agreeance about ms yvon being a lowdown cool refrigerator. But she missed a really really really great show the other night..... Evonne! Envelopes send a hello, and I've got you a nice souvenir......it's an ice cube from my "Banana Hammer" drink ("Banana Hammock", Henrik or somebody called it, heehee ....we said no, that's only after you've had a few.....) ok, no, it isn't really an ice cube f

It was the most perfect of days. Full of fairy-tale romance & perfect moments. You've never seen a couple more in love than Dunja & Rob, and it was a joy to share in their day.

My dearest Dunja and Rob, may the home you make today within each other's hearts prove to be a haven from life's storms and a constant source of joy, love and support! This is an imperfect world, but we are allowed little moments of absolute perfection, like the two of you meeting and falling in love! I wish you the happiest of wedding days, and a glorious future together! All my love, Donna (and family!)

Dunja sweetest, I am so sorry to be late in celebrating your day, but honestly, do you have any idea how much is involved in packing a big, gooey chocolate birthday cake? What a mess! I might as well show you the "before" picture......once those baggage handlers are through with it, it ain't gonna be pretty, even with all the bubble wrap I've used..... Before: Well, I guess we can scrape some of it off the bubble wrap at least. See you soon!

Go Kyle go! Ya gotta love an admin who knows how to play. Great pictures.

The usual tabletop number?

Thanks for this thread, Wendy dearest. We appreciate VC'ers like yourself, too. Thanks to everyone who contributes to keeping our little online "home" running smoothly. Keep those subscriptions coming!

The political leanings surface so early these days!

Kinsley, are you telling us you haven't got those twins signed up yet for the Bush Youth? Just think how cute they'd look in the teeny uniforms!

....and it's.... the future of rock & roll? deplorable? meh. _________(other, please fill in) Well Kyle? Wellwellwell?

Sounds like you are the kind of teacher we need more of, Anodyne. I've spent my kids' whole lives reminding them to consider the source & examine the facts in whatever news or advertising they see. I hope they will go out into the world as intelligent citizens and consumers.

Seriously, please do put this set together! I'll even make cover art for it if you like. And when you're ready to put it together, let me know & I'll send my trade list for you to look over for songs you might want to include.

Well now kidsmoke feels stupid, a not-uncommon occurrence for her. Big apologies to you, run_run_run! I totally did not see your earlier post where you detailed the actual solo Tweedy set you'd like to make (a terrific idea by the way). I misread your later post as a jab at mpolak. I guess it comes of frequently needing to break up little VC squabbles. Again, .....and if you ever get your project going, I've got some great solo dates to offer for your use. jhc, thank you for clarifying the fog surrounding kidsmoke's brain....

*sigh* So did you actually have a project in mind which you planned to make and then share with other Wilco fans here at VC? Or were you just taking a potshot at mpolak? Perhaps you were making some joke which is evading my normally dependable sense of humor?

Ah yes, good thinking there......but with mpolak, you see, the rest of us will actually get a project to enjoy.....

Have a wonderful birthday & year, Sam! Cake for everybody!!! Better get your piece first, Sam....this gang looks hungry!

I love the 9-9-02 John Anson Ford version of that (Los Angeles). They opened with it, and Jeff sang the whole thing totally lost in the song, eyes closed.....it was gorgeous.

Wow, how sad, and how very young he was. Had small children too, I believe. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/09/0...rwin/index.html RIP, Steve.

Even later than Judy to the party.... .....but I join wholehearted in the Celebration of Paul! Here's the cake... Marge is gonna be pissed when she finds out her cake is missing! and a toast to you! Sorry it's blurry.....we, ah, had a bit before you showed up..... .......Hey! Somebody get Paul a glass! I hope this will prove to be a wonderful year in your life!

I think I have been late for every single birthday that has taken place this summer, so my apologies, Jeff! But I honored you on your birthday by taking an all-day beach trip during which many Wilco songs blasted from our car stereo, perhaps loud enough that you heard them? All the Murphys wish you the happiest and most successful year of your life, and we'd like to tell you this in person, so obviously a trip to California is in order, yes? We have been too long without a live Wilco show, but of course we will wait as patiently as we are able. Have some cake, and celebrate yourself

This is a fabulous song to play loudly on a gorgeous summer day as you drive Pacific Coast Highway. I speak from happy experience. It's a song I know is going to always recall Summer of '06 for me....you know, how some songs just become inextricably linked to the time when you first fell for their charms?

Yeah, Sons & Daughters is great.
