:lol Yes, yes I am. Not about this, though! I mean, I've got no idea about a MA box set, but that song was actually recorded with Jeff doing the whole thing. Whether or not that recording still exists is another question, but it was recorded. I promise!

I was just channeling Tweedy. I haven't heard that version but it sounds delicious

If Obama was actually a socialist like McCain likes to keep saying, that would be appropriate. But as he's not..............

 

 

 

I'll stay out of the Obama is or isn't a Socialist debate. He's definitely said things that one could interpret as having a touch of Socialism, but none of us really know what's gonna shake down in an Obama presidency.

 

 

 

As for "Unwelcomed Guest", it might be my favorite Bragg/Wilco song. This song and Another Man's Done Gone both share AMAZING vocals from Tweedy.

America is not a democracy, never has been, never will be until the popular vote counts. We're selectively socialist, and doing a piss poor job of it.

 

And pharmacy

 

 

I've heard about that in England ... crazy! and excellent! Why (some) Americans are so terrified of sharing the wealth so everyone can enjoy a civilized standard of living just blows my mind. I think it's that good old American "I got mine, don't worry about his" gimme gimme bullshit. The Protestant work ethic that says if you work hard you WILL succeed -- and if you haven't succeeded, you're lazy and unworthy.

 

I am hoping for a rearrival of our national mental health, if we ever had it on a national scale in the first place. Apparently the rest of the world feels the same way.

Audience member: "Why is it that someone like my father who goes to school for 13 years gets penalized in a huge tax bracket because he's a doctor."

 

McCain: "I think it's to some degree because we feel obviously that wealthy people can afford more."

 

Audience member: "Are we getting closer and closer to, like, socialism?"

 

McCain: "Here's what I really believe: That when you reach a certain level of comfort, there's nothing wrong with paying somewhat more."

Here's today's my-head-is-going-to-explode offering from the right

I'd say its pretty clear what his agenda is:

 

tax cut for the middle class (keeps em quiet).

 

Leave 50,000 troops in Iraq, move the rest to Afganhistan, possible war with Iran

 

Contiune to turn a blind eye to israel

 

Begin drilling off shore

 

Nuclear Power

I bet you're really proud of that one.

 

he's been holding that one close to his chest for months now!

 

A friend of mine has had a block of hotel rooms in DC booked for inauguration week for nearly a year now. I'd really like to go anyway, but I've told her if Wilco will be playing, I'm in for sure. :badger

Amazing isn't it.....I have lost an old and close friend who believes Obama is going to destroy Israel right off that bat. I guess this election is a rorchach test of sorts for all the wackos....

 

I was wrong about Radiohead. All those not voting for Obama should listen to Ted Nugent instead on election night instead of Wilco, since he IS a big McCain fan.

:ninja After seeing them on Colbert Report I am convinced they are playing Election night. With Tweedy giving Colbert the t-shirt bit and all....

If the permit says no music, there will be no music. I really don't think they will bring in a band after the city is spending all kinds of dough on security, etc. I could be wrong. I fully expect Wilco to play an inagural party however.
