vulture19 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Too bad the only Democrats familiar with Wilco are hipster urbanites between 30 and 40. If that's their categorization for Democrats, what sub-classification of Republicans would be familiar with Wilco? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yermom Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Received via Mike Watt: WILLIAM McKEEN, Professor and ChairUniversity of Florida Department of JournalismP.O. Box 118400, Gainesville, Fla. 32611Voice: 352/392-0500; Fax: 352/846-2673Home page: http://williammckeen. com Dear friends, After hearing a rumor about Odetta's health, I phoned her manager this evening and he confirmed for me that Ms. Odetta is receiving treatment in a New York hospital, where she will be for at least another week.It's Odetta's goal to recover and be in good health so she can perform as planned at Obama's inauguration, Doug told me.Odetta would appreciate cards and letters--please drop her a note if you have the time. Please also forward this information to anyone you know who appreciates Odetta. One note or card is a small joy... perhaps a steady stream of them is something stronger. It sure would be amazing for Odetta to perform at the inauguration, and a shame for her to have to miss such an event. Here's the address: ODETTA GORDONLenox Hill HospitalRoom 720100 East 77th St.New York, NY 10021 Send a card! Odetta kicks ass! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mpolak21 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 President Obama should get this dude to come and play. My Dad and I saw him in a small theater in Nelsonville, Ohio earlier this year. He was a little spacey in between songs, but his voice still sounds great, he closed with an amazing cover of "We Don't Get Fooled Again." --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have always liked the spiritual power of that song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I saw Havens in '92 or so, and he was terrific. I had a copy of his album Alarm Clock during college that I played quite a bit. Still love that record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
