Guest Hollinger. Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I regret to announce... that effective today... I am retiring from Wilco. I cannot sit around and wait until the band releases another album. I have to move on with my life. I have stuck with them through good times and band. Even the time Leroy winked at me. For that, I consider myself the luckiest man in this galaxy. But it is time to move on. Maybe I will find another band. Maybe someday I will pull a Terry Funk and just show up at Wilco like this never happened. Until then, good night and god bless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I haven't retired from Wilco, but I have kind of retired from Gomez. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I just received a text message from Hollinger. saying that he's getting the "itch" to listen to Wilco again. The band however may have already moved on, and might swap him to The Walkmen for a listener to be named later. --Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was only at 10:51 PM last night, he became a fan of Wilco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky speaks Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 He can start the Wilco retirement home and sit around debating whether Jay Bennett should have been kicked out of the band with future retirees while they play bingo...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 ...I cannot sit around and wait until the band releases another album. I have to move on with my life... The wait between previous Wilco releases has been 2+ years, we are currently on a little over 1 1/2 years since SBS, that 1 1/2 years broke you? How did you survive the wait between Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows? Wasn't that like, 4 years or so? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hinesleeco Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Maybe instead of just showing back up like Terry Funk, you should first don a wrestling mask a la Dusty Rhodes and sneak back in as The Midnight Rider. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 you're retiring from listening to a band because you couldn't wait any longer to listen to newer music from this band?...I guess that means he retires from listening to many good musicians because many of them are DEAD!!!!

I agree, your pulling a Joaquin Phoenix, first he'll put on AM then the YHF Demos, followed by a late night viewing of Sunken Treasure as the nightcap. All of this with a camera crew following him...
