OOO Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I assume its going to be on... Sunday morning. If you asked a room full of music critics to list the greatest American rock bands performing today, chances are a large majority of them would mention Wilco. If you’ve never heard of Wilco, or can’t quite think of any of their greatest hits, don’t blame the band - they’ve been putting out their unique brand of music for 15 years, play to sold-out audiences, have won two Grammy awards, and sold more than 4 million albums. But to many, Wilco has always been a band just under the radar - while a favorite of critics and big on college campuses, they've never cracked Top 40 radio. In her interview with WIlco lead singer and songwriter Jeff Tweedy, CBS correspondent Cynthia Bowers talks about the mythology that’s grown up around Wilco, that they’re the "greatest band that never gets played on the radio." Not one for false modesty, Tweedy responds, "we’d be happy to be the second greatest band that does get played on the radio." And Tweedy just might get his wish - Wilco’s new album is their fastest seller ever, debuting at number 4 on the Billboard charts. A profile of the Chicago-based, all-American band, this Sunday Morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigshoulders Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 DVR set!Gotta love that DirecTV. If I had waited to do this when I got home and was distracted with 20 million other things... I would certainly have missed it. Thanks OP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 My girlfriend watches this show religiously, I end up watching it too most Sundays. Looking forward to seeing Wilco on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 It’s probably the most underappreciated 90 minutes on network television – and some of the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Agreed. Osgood has been up to the challenge of filling Kuralt's shoes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WilcoFan Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 It's definitely a good show... This coming from a dad of 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I wonder if it will be a feature, or if it will just be the last segment of the show, with the band walking around in the wild, no narration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stagerug Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 It’s probably the most underappreciated 90 minutes on network television – and some of the best. I second this. Informative, and what I like about it is that it is the most positive news program on TV anymore. Intelligent and celebratory. I am a dad too, and watch it every week. My son looks forward to the "sun" song every Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IATTBYB Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Wow, no mention of rehab, UT, or direct reference to YHF/Reprise. Pretty good little segment about Jeff . . . I mean Wilco (could have talked a little bit about the other fellows). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 the only reason i caught it is because my mother called me to tell me it was coming on. glad she woke me up.Me too! She gets so excited when Wilco gets news coverage. She is so proud of them! She even called me back afterwards for review. She said she particularly liked that they showed the "normal" side of rock & roll, that musicians can have a family and still rock etc. "You know, so much about rock music isn't very nice." My mom is 80 years old. Great-Grandma rock! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Part of me is glad to see Wilco finally getting some mainstream attention, but an equal part of me would really like more than 1/6 of Wilco to be getting that attention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jacobwilco Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I never post on here, but had to share this with people that care! I literally checked my email, read the email from WilcoHQ, saw that they were going to be on Sunday Morning, freaked out and pissed the kids off by turning off Mickey Mouse clubhouse, turned it to Sunday Morning and there was Jeff Tweedy!! I got to see the whole thing!! Wilco and I are meant to be. The last 13 years are not wasted!! Thanks Wilco and CBS Sunday Morning!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 how does one view this w/out signing into this site? You can't - that is a Bit Torrent site. You have to know how to do Bit Torrent, sign-up with the site, and then download it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
