Tweedy uses biblical allusions in some of his songs. There's a line at the end of Theologians that's more or lessed cribbed from John.

Hmm, but what if the opposing coach realized that it was a fake and couldn't call the timeout in time?

Man, how instant can they get? Here, all along I thought getting them out of the can was the pinnancle of instantude. Are you telling me differently?

So you were!

Are those mutually exclusive?

Sofia Copolla is mentioned in the piece.

It's almost as if we live in the same place.

This Bob Dylan fellow reminds me of someone.
