pmancini100 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 one of my favorite things a songwriter does is the almighty name drop. they reference a person or artist, immortalizing them in song. i am so enamored with the eminem name drop on sonny feeling, it got me thinking about who jeff chose to name drop throughout his whole career. the only ones i can think of are: acuff/rose - anodyned. boon - still feel gone and eminem - wilco (the album) does anyone know if he has any other references somewhere?
