ponch1028 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Well, it has taken five years, five Wilco and one Jeff Tweedy concert, but this Wednesday, my wife, Julie, will experience her first Wilco concert. I Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paula Deen Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 i read this like a casey kasem top 40 long distance letter request and dedication. awww, shucks. i hope you have a great time. one thing i can say about mine and my husbands music tastes is that they are so linear, it's scary and boring. of course, he might like some old, stupid punk stuff that i totally would never listen to, and i'm almost certain that he loathes my obsession w/ neil diamond and old rod stewart...but other than that, i think we're right on track. except for he probably likes iron and wine way more than i do...cause to me, all the songs sorta sound similar...which i attribute more to his voice and less to the music itself. but when we catch onto something, we usually agree. for instance, sufjan stevens is new to us and it was a no brainer. one thing i love about my husband is that i only really have to listen to the songs and say "hey, what is track number three called" and he might say "impossible germany"...so i never have to rely solely on myself...cause i suck at the kinda stuff. if we split, i'll be lost cause outside of wilco (which i can't help but to know what songs are on what albums) i wouldn't have a clue which albums hous my faves and what the names of those songs are. having said all that, my main concern here is that your wife is unsure of YHF. we must make her a believer. and if someone IS reading this that could pull some strings at the ATL show, could you make it so that tweedy says hi to isabel from alabama, followed by theologians?

Wendy Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Great story, Ponch! That worked out well getting the kids on your side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 My wife likes Wilco but I wouldn't call her a fan, exactly. I remember taking her to a Wilco show (2003?) and during the ending distortion of "Poor Places" she leaned over and asked, "Is it supposed to sound like that?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilco Worshipper Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Awesome story ponch... My ex-boyfriend introduced me to Wilco and I am very thankful for that, VERY thankful!!! I appreciated it even more, as he was from Chicago and was around them since the beginning. I only hope my next b/f will be as into them as I am or at the very least appreciate them. Otherwise, they probably won't be my mate for long Btw, someone "joked" back a few weeks ago about a Wilco "singles connection" sorta thing. Not a bad idea, guys...
