PigSooie Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'll be sure to get rid of all my radiohead albums. As an aside, is Wilco really Chicago's hometown band? I imagine we could comprise a list of chicago based bands that might be of a variety other than the obscure alt.country type. There is a band called Chicago! OMG!

JUDE Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I foresee quite a few disappointed fans when they show up to see Wilco and get Fleetwood Mac. OK I have to get back to listening to The Bends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I think the losers will probably be listening to Rascal Flatts. I hear they're Palin's favorite band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 My guess.....Wilco will play to half or so million people...(all the non-Obama fans can stay home and listen to Radiohead....and feel depressed while the rest of us party our brains out wherever we are...) LouieB I don't think McCain supporters are big followers of Radiohead... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 wow, you have been pretty ornery latelyNot really..... I'll be sure to get rid of all my radiohead albums. As an aside, is Wilco really Chicago's hometown band? I imagine we could comprise a list of chicago based bands that might be of a variety other than the obscure alt.country type.Let's see..is Wilco a Chicago hometown band?? Jeff Tweedy lives here with his family (he doesn't live in LA or New York), John lives here with his family (including a young child), Glenn lives here with his family (including a baby), Pat lives here. Both Nels and Mikal spend a ton of time here although one lives west and one lives east I guess. They spent a five night residency here...etc etc. Yea, I think they are from Chicago... Sure there are tons of bands here, but with the possible exception of the Smashing Pumpkins and Fall Out Boy there is not a bigger band from Chicago at the moment....is there?? I don't think McCain supporters are big followers of Radiohead...Gawd, its a joke................ LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 You sort of eluded to them as 'the' hometown band and I'm just asking if a higher percentage of people from chicago know of them, because aside frompockets of indie rock fans they're kind of obscure in other places.

Sir Stewart Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm taking Election Day off. "Personal business". No way in hell will I be able to concentrate on work - I'm sure I'll be (even more than usual) batshit that day. Wilco, or GD? Decisions, decisions... But...no nailbiting goes on on Election Day until around 9pm eastern...admit it: you just want the day off! (I think E Day should be a national holiday anyway) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightOfJoy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 It's OK. I'm sure he'll use his day off to go out and stimulate the economy. I have a ton of vacation days racked up....maybe I'll take the rest of the week off to celebrate the return of sanity to America with the election of Obama. I see the consumption of many, many Belgium beers in my near future!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB I like Obama. Is it okay if I also listen to Radiohead? I'll probably be listening to neither on election night though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jules Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Why do you sign your forum screenname after each post? If I wanted to see who posted the message I just read I could easily look in the appropriate spot, right? And that Justin guy does this too. This sort of bothers me.fuck off. ~theshua Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 If Wilco plays at the celebration, I already know the opening song: Jesus Christ for PresidentI hope not. That would do nothing to dissuade the GOP's attitudes toward the Messiah-like treatment they believe Obama is getting. Best to avoid that kettle of fish altogether.

jakobnicholas Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Here's another: "The Unwelcome Guest" To the rich man's bright lodges I ride in this wind On my good horse, I call you My shiny black Bess To the playhouse of fortune To take the bright silver And gold you have taken From somebody else And as we go riding In the damp foggy midnight You snort, my good pony And you give me your best For you know and I know Good horse 'mongst the rich ones How oftimes we go there An unwelcome guest I never took food From the widows and orphans And never a hardworking man I oppressed So take your pace easy For home soon like lightning We soon will be riding My shiny black Bess No fat rich man's pony Can ever overtake you And there's not a rider From the east to the west Could hold you a light In this dark mist and midnight When the potbellied thieves Chase the unwelcome guest I don't know, good horse As we trot in this dark here That robbing the rich Is for worse or for best They take it by stealing And lying and gambling And I take it my way My shiny Black Bess I treat horses good And I'm friendly to strangers I ride and your running Makes my guns talk the best And the rangers and deputies Are hired by the rich man To catch me and hang me My shining black Bess Yes, they'll catch me napping one day And they'll kill me And then I'll be gone But that won't be my end For my guns and my saddle Will always be filled By unwelcome travelers And other brave men And they'll take the money And spread it out equal Just like the Bible And the prophets suggest But men that go riding To help these poor workers The rich will cut down Like an unwelcome guest Quote Link to post Share on other sites

orchestra Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Radiohead is cry in your synth music for the losers....Wilco is party music from Obama's home town band for the winners. Bugged or not, I will continue to sign my name at the bottom.....I started with my first post here many moons ago and don't intend to stop......(considering you only have 22 posts, ....one is to complain about this???) LouieB I guess I shouldn't question what the mighty forum elders choose to do, considering I haven't spent nearly as much time posting thousands of messages on an internet forum, thereby invalidating my remark. Like you said though, you've been doing it since day one, and far be it from me to ask you about the thousands of times you've been compelled to put your screenname after your message in a post. I was just wondering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
