Critic's preview of the Clearwater, FL show


Recommended Posts

Sean Daly of The St. Petersburg Times put out his Top 5 March shows list. Wilco made #4.

 

•4WILCO (Ruth Eckerd Hall, March 23): Tickets for this are going to be a tough get. But if you're dying to get in, maybe, just maybe, you can bamboozle a 43-year-old music snob out of his seats. Try this. Tell him you're "Jay Farrar, an old friend of Jeff Tweedy's. If you give me your tickets, hipster, I'll introduce you to Jeff." If he catches you in the scam, run like hell 'cause those guys … actually, just take your time. Wilco fans eat a lot of cheese. (rutheckerdhall.com)

That makes no sense. If anything, I'm simply offended by its inanity. Something that inane belongs in a VC politcal thread or RTT.

 

Jerry: Oh good. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about Dr. Whatley. I have a suspicion that he's converted to Judaism just for the jokes.

Father: And this offends you as a Jewish person.

Jerry: No, it offends me as a comedian.

He is a local writer for the newspaper. To call him a moron is being nice. He basically likes top 40 stuff, but he writes about everything that comes through, 95% of the time resulting in him sounding like an idiot.

Doug, I PM'd this to you today. Sorry. I think you got into it with him once before regarding Wilco or Uncle Tupelo, but I can't remember.

 

Any time I read this guy I wanna punch him in the face. He is an idiot. The dude from the Trib is much better, Curtis Ross. And the gal who got fired from the Times, Gina, was so much better it's sad.
