At a Strand of Oaks show last weekend, Pat Finnerty (who now plays guitar for Strand of Oaks and also does the “Why This Song Stinks” podcast) opened the show for SoA by playing random covers that the

It is wonderful to tune in and catch up on the latest about Wilco happenings.

From Grammy Mccar greetings to MMA 3 and even WGN weathman...

 

It's interesting that Jeff has lately refered to Wilco as being a "pop" band.

Doesn't exactly fit the criteria, but was watching the most recent House of Lies and one of the guys said " turn your frown upside down.". I have some live show, must be a Tweedy show (from D.C. I think) where he banters about being embarrassed by that lyric. So that qualifies as a " Wilco heard while out and about", I think.
