VC 'interview' with Tweedy?

[W(TF)]

Jeff seems to be doing a lot of interviews lately, I imagine some of them are just done by phone/email(?)...who knows. (check the bottom of the 'news' page on wilcoworld.net for the links)

 

If we argued them out/voted on them, and finally compiled 10 or 15 of our best questions, I wonder if he'd bite..? Or is that just "fan harassment".

[aricandover]

there was a VC interview w/ Tony Margherita, years ago. that's how I found this place.

[cryptique]

I say we do it, on the condition that at some point during the interview, when Jeff's taking time to answer a question, the interviewer says "OMG just answer the question, you highy messed-up freak!"

[isadorah]

what a great idea! let's do it! so how do we start fielding questions to narrow down?

If only we had a place online where we could post such things...

ha ha. ok, i meant who's gonna wrangle and handle the free for all of questions that will populate this thread, etc etc. i'm never clear on here and always come across as a complete airhead. just ask analogman.

I guess cryptique will be "ramrodding" this project. That was a volunteer smooch, I can tell.

Hey, little dolly with the blue jeans on

I wanna ramrod with you honey, till half-past dawn

Let your hair down sugar and pick up this beat

Come on and meet me tonight down on Bluebird Street

I've been working all week, I'm up to my neck in hock

Come Saturday night I let my ramrod rock

 

She's a hot stepping hemi with a four on the floor

She's a roadrunner engine in a '32 Ford

Late at night when I'm dead on the line

I swear I think of your pretty face when I let her unwind

Well look over yonder see them city lights

Come on little dolly 'n' go ramroddin' tonight

 

Come on, come on, come on little baby

Come on, come on let's shake it tonight

Come on, come, come on little sugar

Dance with your daddy and we'll go ramroddin' tonight

 

Hey, little dolly won't you say you will

Meet me tonight up on top of the hill

Well just a few miles cross the county line

There's a cute little chapel nestled down in the pines

Say you'll be mine little girl I'll put my foot to the floor

Give me the word now sugar, we'll go ramroddin' forever more

My 2 cents - the only "condition" I think we should make, is that whoever we nominate to do the interview should be allowed to do it by phone with an audio recorder (better yet, in person), and not totally electronically, i.e. not by email/chat room. Reason being that the interviewer should be able to note things like laughter, groaning, etc. Email also takes away all spontanaiety.

 

What MIGHT be cool is if we could raffle off a chance to "be there", say to a lucky 50 people, and do it via something like MS Live Meeting. (with Jeff using a webcam)

I'm going to take my name out of the hat. Help narrow this down a bit.

nice! we could make it into a fundraising thing (that's probably what you meant by raffle), but keep it at a level playing field, not something that simply goes to the highest bidder. or is that overdone already?

 

 

or we could do a big ellaborate questionaire like that guy on craig's list that was looking for a date to take to a wilco concert.

"ramrodding"

 

I love it when this place gets all PG-13.

 

 

(PS Hi Skyflynn!)

"highy".

 

I second this motion from the distinguished gentleman from Meesheeegun.

[SarahC]

this is a very interesting idea...

[Kalle]

Jeff does look at VC quite a bit, he comments on things here at shows all the time. This would be great though!

[OOO]

Even if he doesn't agree to do the interview, we can just have one person per show night ask him a question after the show (wait by the bus), and then report back here. We can then tailor the next question to his response and repeat at all venues. He has no way of escaping.

I'd be more then happy to sift through all the questions and try to organize a way of voting on questions so its not just one person picking which questions they like.

 

 

Basiclly the best way to do would be to organize questions by what they are adressing and vote on each section for a question to be asked. Maybe make a three day period submit questions; cut if off; organize it by section then have vcers vote on a question per section.

 

 

Any other ideas?

Hey jc4prez, I was just reading an interview w/ Phish lyricist Tom Marshall & the questions were all submitted by people on their message board (PT). Very cool.

 

I think this would be a great idea!

[entropy]

My submission: omfg JEff, how are you SO awesome?/

Jeff's response: "Uuhhmmmmmmmm....."

 

 

-Robert.

[napoleon]

someone had to say it, so i'll be the first...

 

"how'd you get so insightful?"

That could work.. so the sections would be something like:

- Jeff's side projects

- Jeff's songwriting process

- Jeff's internet habits

- Jeff's parenting insights

etc etc

 

Right?

 

And then submit questions, and we vote using the polling feature?
