W(TF) Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ok, here's a shot at categories.... - Sky Blue Sky (but I'd suggest people read the recent interviews so we don't duplicate what we know already)- previous records, Wilco/Loose Fur/UT etc- what's happening now with Jeff's side projects- Jeff's songwriting process- Jeff's musicianship development- books Jeff has been reading- records Jeff is listening to (again, check interviews where he already has mentioned The Byrds, Fairport Convention, etc)- Jeff's internet habits- Jeff's interaction with fans- Jeff's relationship insights - Jeff's parenting insights- Jeff's views on the political divide in America ...everyone please add/subtract/change the above.

Correct.thanks for pointing out my flaws! i am not a moderator. i just have no life during the day so i post a lot... talk to kidsmoke(donna), she'll know who you should talk to (probably) and if she doesn't she can tell you who does...

jc4prez Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 yeah i sent her a pm. I guess start throwing out ideas for differt topics. This way if we are able to make this happen we already have the ball rolling. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 How about tour-related questions? I wouldn't mind hearing about what life is like on the road with Wilco. What is a typical day/night like? Strangest song request ever yelled out? Oh, and if we go with the interview-by-stalker-waiting-outside-the-bus option, I volunteer for LA at the Greek. Link to post Share on other sites
WilcoOfTheDay Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 "Umm, Jeff? Remember ... uh ..... when you were like in that band Uncle Tupelo, and you, uh, wrote that song Gun, and you said ''cause my heart it was a gun, but it's unloaded now, so don't bother'"? "Yeah..." "That was AWESOME"! Definitely made my day! Haha! Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 And we feel okay about VWs. Several of us even drive them. Alright wise guy. Specifically who drives VWs in the band, so we can be more accurate in deciding who in the band has sold out? Link to post Share on other sites
Stan Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Who decided to cover The Walton's Theme? (as on the bonus tracks of my copy of March ...). If it wasn't JT I'm going to cry. Link to post Share on other sites
Stan Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Also, at what point during the recording process does the band get to hear the kind of explanation of songs as given during the SBS DVD interview segments - if at all? Bits of information given out as they ask, a sit down and 'let me tell you about this one' minute or two. Left up to their interpretations? How does it happen. Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY DURING THE KINPIN SPEACH? Link to post Share on other sites
BeatingHippies Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 A part on touring would be pretty interesting. Just going by my various friends who have toured everyone of them has different yet really cool expierences and habits. Plus everyone ends up really liking some cities or venues more than others. It'd be cool to find out what some of their favorite venues and places outside of Chicago are. Whenever I ask a band this question it always gets a really different and cool response, it's not always what you'd expect. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 "So, Jeff... is it harder to tour now that you all have to cram into a VW minibus? Or do you have a fleet of them" Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 maybe expand the side-projects category to contain all of wilco's side projects instead of just jeff's. ok, he can't truly speak for everyone in the band, but i have a question in mind that relates not only jeff's side projects but everyones. i second the touring category.

BeatingHippies Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Here's another, what's it like touring solo as opposed to touring with the whole band? Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I really liked the parenting category (got 3 of 'em, nary a dull moment), but haven't seen any questions in that yet. So here's a matched pair... What's the most important thing you've learned from having kids?What's the most important thing you want your kids to learn from you? Link to post Share on other sites

But whoa, whoa, all you energetic and enterprising Mickey Rooneys and Judy Garlands.....this is a very fun idea, but it needs to be thought over and given clearance through your friendly neighborhood Via Chicago management, if it is to fly under our auspices. Give us a bit of time to huddle & discuss, ok? Thx! Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 OK, you Rooney Garlands, stop spray-painting all the background scenery and sewing interviewing costumes....cute though they most assuredly are.........I'm going to close this thread for the time being, as suggested by jc4prez, until your friendly neighborhood moderministrators have had time to discuss the feasibility of this idea. We'll get back to you. Link to post Share on other sites
