Sweet Papa Crimbo

This may stop at the Crimea...it is not a historically natural part of the Ukraine. Kruschev ceded it to the Ukraine in the 1950's, I hope Putin is simply concerned with the security of the Black Sea Fleet's base. If not, then he is simply insane. I don't think that Germany, Poland, France and Britain will stand for anything further. We are a weak cypher now. I don't think Mr. Obama's threats about a 'red lines' and 'paying a price' have much import after the lines drawn in Libya and Syria were pissed on. Unless we can fight a war with hellfire armed drones, we ain't going in.

Every day, I fight a battle not to give in to the bitterness and anger that, at times, consumes me. Today is a losing day. Carry on.

It's what passes for journalism these days (although it is an opinion piece).

Send your snark to the publisher of the article. It's wasted on me. I just reposted it with the cutline.

This is epic in so many ways...

Paste's description of him as "a modest-selling 'critic’s darling' with a reputation for pushing the envelope" sounds a bit like a little band we all know and love.

Take a Xanax Bro. "Sensationalistic thread rabblerousing'? I am simply looking at the situation at hand and voicing a concern for the future of a band I desperately admire. The Band obviously takes second place to the personal issues the Tweedy family will be facing, but 2014 already had all the signs of a severe scaling back of activity in the Wilco World.

You guys DO realize the jibe about 'poor man's Tom Waits' is VERY jokingly presented?

He's an artist I just can't get a handle on. I find hid stuff very intriguing, but he seems bent on becoming a poor man's Tom Waits. I still use Ohio Air Show Plane Crash as a decomperssor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AFv5_PwGMU

With no Band shows on the horizon and, if you believe a random Redditor, the band having no plans to record until 2015 combined with Sue's health issues...is this the end of the band?

Nah...keeps the rank and file on their toes. Plus, it's like chumming the water to see if anybody is actually reading these things anymore. So...YOU WIN!

A little late...but here goes War on War California Stars Muzzle of Bees Blue Eyed Soul nothingsevergonnastandinmywayagain Somebody else's song Born to die alone

Don't go. You seem to have little or no interest and you do seem to be hard to impress. Let someone who is a true believer buy the tickets.

I haven't seen Dylan on his never ending tour...does HE use a teleprompter?

...Man. He hasn't aged well.

Just saw this. It's amazing how bad I feel for somebody I don't know. My thoughts and prayers are with the Tweedy family.

Who's playing guitar along with Peter Frampton in that house band?

No

Iconic "I don't believe you. You're a LIAR. "

I was JUST thinking about this episode. I have read somewhere that Dylan wasn't responding the "JUDAS" shout. It is such an iconic moment, that the fiction may be better than the truth. I wish I could make out what else was being said.

somehow, when I read this, I pictured David Cross and Michael Chiklis as the other band members. The break up was over a failed hair product endorsement proposed by Jeff.

That is one of the perceived problems of elected judges...money. Money. Money. Money.

It's the age old 'mythos' vs. 'logos' conundrum.
