On that note, however, does Lebanon bear no responsibility for allowing Hezbollah to operate within its borders? While I certainly feel the scope and magnitude of Israel's response is overboard, I'm okay with the idea of a response of some kind. Does Israel need to look at its policies and be more fair to its inhabitants and neighbors? Sure. Does Lebanon need to make sure bands of militia aren't roaming its southern border and shooting rockets into another country? Absolutely.

I am not an anti Semite. I am anti Israeli Occupied Law and the destruction it has caused over the years.

Easy, killer. Just echoing your buddy Scott. Not looking to start WWV here.

Don't forget the anti-Semitism.

Hezbollah is not a Palestinian organization.

In my imagination, his posts consist of nothing but "Franks and beans!!" over and over.

OMG, it's teh impending WWIV!!!!

Yes.

WTHAIGTDIC?

It was the "Theme From Armageddon" thing that tipped you off, wasn't it?

I really meant the Steely Dan thing, but sure.

I meant kshun.

I believe it's meant to be taken tongue in cheek.

Yes. It's called "Bring It On Home To Me".

"Bring It On Home To Me", Live from the Harlem Square Club.

Yep.

Any sunburn to speak of?

I was hoping it was something dirty.

Is it wrong that I knew exactly what I was going to see when I clicked the link?

Dogfish Head 90's are chillin' in da fridge

Jealous.

However, regarding the specific question of how the Jeff-Jay dynamic was presented, Brian Henneman, who knows Jeff and Jay very well, and was there in the midst of things while they were happening, does feel that Kot didn't get it right, and skewed things in Jeff's favor. Not having been there myself, I'm more inclined to believe Brian than someone else who wasn't there - regardless of whether or not he takes Jeff to task for firing Ken Coomer later in the book.

You're such a Ken fanboy.

I just really respect that he was able to juggle being in a rock and roll band with his committments to Mr. Show, which apparently caused Jeff to get jealous and make the first "circle has to have a center" firing of his career. Of course, he hired that guy from the Muppet Show, so I think that shows you where Jeff's head was at the time. Did that make it into Kot's book? You bet your ass it didn't. Bias? Oh hell yeah.

To save others who are interested a few minutes, I've pasted Brian Henneman's two most telling posts from the Farrar board. Link is below.

 

"Hello friends,

TRUST ME. The Wilco book does NOT paint the picture accurately. I love Jeff, I love Jay, I was there in the early days.

I didn't see any outright LIES, but, I did, swiftly, catch the fact that it is a "spun" telling of the tale.

I did see some inaccurate information.

 

...

 

I can't comment on the later chapters, 'cause I wasn't there.

There DOES seem to be a "Jay bashing" taking place in the story though, which I found unenjoyable.

but still, even with the different Jay, I didn't file like there was a "character assassination" going on--of anyone. The book basically describes how Jeff and Jay were heading in different directions, wanting different things out of the/a band. It's not as though the book paints Jeff only in a good light. The author clearly calls him out for the way Coomer was dismissed...

Whether Kot calls out Jeff for firing Ken Coomer isn't exactly relevant to what Brian Henneman thinks of the way he presents Jeff's and Jay's relationship in Uncle Tupelo, is it?

I am never going to be able to sleep again.

Sorry to hear it, Kat.

Mike Tyson and Mike Ditka are both known as "Iron Mike."

Unless of course you have an argument against that position. We're all ears (or eyes, I should say).

Nope, pretty much just trying to help El Kevbo make some sense of the comment.

what does that even mean?

It means Bush is bad and you should get with the program.

My mom-in-law had that going on and then she was told that it was against code when she had her deck rebuilt. Besides, w/ my old house...that sounds like a recipe for EXPLOSIVO!!!

Code, schmode. The landlord and I ran a gas line from his kitchen up to ours. Nothing to it.

You have a point.

duh.

P.S. The deli-sliced havarti makes all the difference when creating a sandwich.

Yep.
