Farrar Interview


Recommended Posts

The guy probably can't go two interviews in a row without having to discuss the 800-pound gorilla in the room.

UP: And, I have to ask this question. I'm just curious: have you heard the new Wilco record?

JF: I have not. I've heard people talk about it, say it's coming out.

 

UP: So you don't really keep up with that stuff?

JF: I don't keep up with much that's contemporary. But, I think if it's safe to say some of it I would like and some of it I would not.

 

UP: I guess you kind of buried that hatchet to put out (Uncle Tupelo's) Anthology a few years back.

JF: You know, we didn't directly work together but certainly we had to agree on the content. So, yes, the hatchet's buried, a long time ago.

What this interview (and every interview, annually) says to me is that there isn't a gorilla in the room until the journalist rents one from a zoo and puts it there. This is the usual, "I don't care, we're not mad, how many times do we have to say this?" situation.

True. It's kinda nice though that Jay's acknowledging "the hatchet" has been buried. There was some bad blood there for a while.
