Dancing keeps a person warm so I'm sure parisisstale is doing just fine. Probably glowing!

Jeff is feeling feisty. I love Feisty Jeff!

That was sweet.

Could someone pass me the artichoke dip? This song would go well with artichoke dip. Drinks for everybody in the ice chest to the left of the guitar break.

How is it that this song just never gets old? (IG)

I love how this song always sounds a little different with every live performance.

Ok, here's a spot for all of us listeners who can't be there in person! We're so misunderstood!

I'm listening too. I think I'll start us a listening party thread. Have a look here: http://viachicago.org/topic/52261-wilco-winterlude-live-listening-party-2-25-17/ Beers and chips for everybody! Please join me over there, DaydreamNation, worldrecordplayer, and any others listening right now.

These both sound like conversations at my house. The calmer it seems, the more jittery I get. Don't trust any of these lunatics.

You're more generous than I am. I'm giving him until Saturday.

This lineup is simply amazing and I couldn't be happier! Any of you unfamiliar with Kevin Morby may want to spend some time now getting familiar. You are in for a real treat. Try "Singing Saw"! Mesmerizing music.

Exactly my thinking! I don't know how he could have made himself more repulsive over the years.

I'm sure it won't be long now. Then we can start geeking out over the choices!

Uh oh. I'd guess it's the beginning. But I think (as usual) he has really miscalculated. This will be such a hornets nest!

This is exactly what my husband and I do every day now. It feels like fiction.

I feel like all my language skills have lately been reduced to an outraged, sputtering, WHAT. THE. FUCK. A third grader could have written a more meaningful speech. He turns every single thing into an opportunity to praise himself. My hatred knows no bounds.

Good advice. The video helps.

Yours may be too young for this discussion. That's not a good kid, that's a GREAT kid! How horrifying this must be for your Jewish friends. I don't think having an exit plan is an overreaction in the least! I've gotten my own passport updated just in case. By 4th grade kids are really waking up to the larger world, though they will still usually parrot their parents' views, mixed in with a lot of questions about how it all works. Of course you have to be careful while on the job. How old are your older boys? I wonder if they will have more to say as this stretches on.

Thanks Mt. Bed. That was beautiful and that's excellent advice. Steady as we go.

Thanks. We Americans are watching with horror too.

Amid the nationwide protests at airports and elsewhere across the country (and world), a personal note: Jeff and Sue Tweedy spent part of the past couple of days joining in the protests at O'Hare. Yesterday they were verbally attacked by a small group of haters who suggested they would be happy to kill them. It was completely unprovoked; Jeff and Sue were simply passing by this group. At their comments, Jeff protested that "You don't even know me!" but this made no difference to the group. Thankfully Jeff had the good sense to involve the police, and passengers in the area confirmed that the v

This comes up from a conversation elsewhere...I find myself wondering what you all are hearing from your children? I know we have many parents here. What kind of reaction are your kids having to the news of the day? Their thinking, after all, predicts our future to some extent. What kind of conversations are you having about things like the airport protests, the women's march, etc? Genuinely curious.

Sounds like incredible nights. This place needs a Like button.

Adorbs.

Sad to see Ben go, but I wish him bright new horizons! I guess his replacement will have some pretty big shoes to fill.
