Happy new year, Via Chicago! I hope the coming year will prove a kinder one than 2018. Toward this goal, I hope each of us here will try to put some kindness out into the world. Kindness has a way of growing out of itself and multiplying, given half a chance. And courage...in the face of so much ugly, self-serving cowardice in the world of 2018, I hope you will all show courage, in both the tiny scenarios (I really could skip that 5th cup of eggnog) and the big, ugly, pivotal fights. So HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you here in our little online kingdom. Get out there and change the world with your

Concert tickets are always a terrific gift...so nice to extend Christmas out into the following months!

Dear Via Chicago denizens, I wish you all a beautiful and bountiful holiday season, full of people you love! And I wish us all a big improvement, in 2019, over 2018. May peace find the world again. Tell me about your Christmas!

Were you there?

Slippery slope, isn't it?! But we love having you in the cult.

That's a great line!

No, "Ouch! will be the name of the next Wilco album, following the 2 Tweedy releases, "Warm" and then "Warmer" in the Spring. Warm, Warmer, Ouch! I kid, I kid, that's what a kidsmoke does!

It was a charity event to raise funds for a mental health facility in Chicago. I was lucky enough to be able to join our little band of 20. The Tweedys have put on a couple of these and there may be more in the future! All monies going to great causes.

And I love this: Don't forget Don't forget to brush your teeth Or you'll have a funny smile You don't have to smile at me I adore that last line. The whole phrase is very endearingly Jeff, but especially that last line.

No, I was part of a Loft tour group and he told us then. Said he hadn't wanted to make another double album so he'd split it between 2 albums, one for now and one for Spring.

It is supposed to be another full album.

Thanks bbop!

This one really gets to me: "Even when I'm wide awake I keep turning back one page I can't find the plot Something else is taking shape I know what it's like To keep losing your place" Some days my whole life feels like this!

But will they stream it, I wonder?

Well that was magnificent! And over far too soon. Really nice to see the Tweedy band again!

Sorry, I was busy singing along lustily to "Let's Go Rain"!!!

Hi Arlene! Isn't "Don't Forget" gorgeous?!

Who's watching with me? And pass that bean dip over here.

Here we go!

Lucky you! I love The Hideout and this one is going to be really special! Let's do a listening party here as we groove along. See you in an hour.
