bcart12 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I thought it was pretty neat that Jeff and Spencer chose to rock out some Meters. I didn't re-watch the piece but I believe it was Cissy Strut. Jeff was gettin down to, Zigaboo would have been proud! Cissy Strut indeed. Love this tune and thought it was very cool to see Jeff and the kids jamming on this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c.lo Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 And here is a 106 MB AVI. http://www.sendspace.com/file/m2hefp great, thanks!I woke up too late to catch it, but I did see the piece on Cougars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jnrjr79 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Kind of a lazy, thrown-together piece, but nice to see them getting the pub. A couple quibbles: Maybe they don't mention winning the Grammy for AGIB because it doesn't fit with the "they just might make it now!" narrative. Also, my understanding is the Tweedy fam lives in Chicago proper, not the 'burbs as indicated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barbkm Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 It's up on Youtube now, so I'm cool Thanks for the help, thoough. And my comment on the piece is so girly -- love the pictures of him as a little boy. You can really see Spencer and Sam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rwilson580 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I appreciate any PR the band receives, and enjoyed the piece. At the same time, as a big fan -- didn't it seem like they were telling some other band's story? Sure, none of us would argue that the band is underrated by the world in general...pretty much unknown by the world in general. But does anybody feel like they're a long suffering band, looking for their big break? "The little band that could"? Hilarious. Hey, how much would it suck if the premise of the story was correct? That after years of obscurity they're ready to make that quantum leap? As a fan of only a few years, it's been nice to know that, when they're in my corner of the country, I'm going to be able to snag tickets. And for a fraction of the price of the biggest acts in the world. We've had a good thing going here...it would not be cool if the rest of the world started crashing the party. But, no, I do not begrudge the boys their well-earned fame and fortune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tupeloattheBottleneck Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 when the hell did Jeff move to the burbs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tfuller Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 My favorite part is in the background at The Loft, there is a SuperDawg sculpture. Tweedy mentioned this as his favorite hot dog in the city. Pretty funny. I just walked up there the other night with my wife to get a chocolate malt. Delicious. Maybe I'll run into the Tweedy clan there someday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
