Lotti Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Pic for start is sure to make the smile on this day! Now please continue Mr Jeff Tweedy! We give the best wishes to you from all in village for another passing of the 4 seasons, but I make little cry for you that all wonder in passing seasons is not visible when you live in big metropolitan place. Can you see the little white arctic fox from your window, just before eagle swoop for tasty snack, all talon spread and "Yum-yum" face? We have the fear for little fox, but there is no escape from bead of eagle eye. It is sad but it is the nature, no? Can you see tall grass ripple and pine shake with delicious waft? No Mr Jeff Tweedy, it is my bet to you that all is noise of sit-on lawn mowing and vision is full of washing line from next door neighbour with big bloomers on display. But this is digression and best kept for separate PM (I send pics of eagle. Olsen ask if you can send pics of bloomers as way of compensate). Let us return to topic, and today is not a day for the tearful. As in song of Ian Dury "Seasons to be Cheerful", there are three seasons of happiness, and one of fourth count where only schapps will help make the survival through dark tunnel of despair (but then is much easier for little white arctic fox to hide, so he has not dark tunnel in this way for sure. There is up and there is down of swings in this world!). I am thinking you make song of this concept with Wilco rarity song of "I Wish I Were Ian Dury", with this man as influence in past times at start of Wilco journey before you settle for the Abba as righteous path for future development once album of Voulez-Vous make a pip at post of Ian Dury to position number two at top of charts? Then later you make song of "Not Fourth Season" in acknowlegement of this truth that I speak. You are lucky to have anniversary in brightest season for sure! This is time of the long outdoor forest walks in full majesty of natural spendour and the slump of happy weariness at half-way point with time for herring paste and Snickers bar while picking knickers (for we are not always fortunate in location choice for meal time and ants in pants is often inconvenience condition). We hope you do this today as family activity. Mr Jeff Tweedy I make a piece of toast to you! In small research mode, I present latest research on subject of influence of Mr Benny and Mr Bjorn and Mr Jeff Tweedy with the simian subject. This is strange topic for pop endeavor, but Mr Jeff Tweedy follow in their slipping stream as in many other occassions. He has same nose for sweet smell of pop project success. Here is reminder of original for those who are not of the Abba. King Kong Song Now we can make the jungle out of any old placeWe can make gorillas out of people, yeahWell who can tell a monkey from a monkey?So people get together, gonna have a good timeEverybody listen to the music, yeah'Cause what we're gonna sing is kinda funky So let your arms hang downAnd waddle all aroundLike a dreadful mighty killerA big black wild gorilla We do the King Kong song, won't you sing alongListen to the music and it couldn't go wrongWe do the Kong Kong song, gotta sing alongCan't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tomListen to the rhythm of the King Kong song Of course friends, you can see clear relationship with song of "Monkey Mess" in boom box style, no? It is now staring like a full face to you from this evidence! In final writing I bring news of reverse kind! After all research on my part, news of the Wilco combo grow to all in village (all have easy way to accessibility to this style due to Abba style similarity). Now I present Wilco band of tribute mode - O - Group! "Wilc" in our slang language is nasty word (of Danish original) so they make shorter version - which give unique name to them and also has safety for the ears of the little ones. Pay attention to leafy aspect! You see them in still pic from video of "I Am Wheel" in their style. Was this in your imagination with a full implementation Mr Jeff Tweedy? You are not in video habit (which is strange deviation from lessons of innovating Mr Stig for sure) so maybe you are not of this visual imagination. But we should agree it is better to interpret to listener such a mental image as bonus feature to song! With plus of flares there is no need to say also (though I do say Ha Ha!). You need more of suit habit after nudie experiment, even if it is not of kind for which Professor from Stockholm has fierce preference. If it is your wish they can send special package of cassette tape. Is C120 TDK your preference Mr Jeff Tweedy? They have desire to be special guest for Solid Sounding number two and make desperate practice. But they make request for excuse from dunk ritual. We have special fear of this practise as all are taught from smallest age never to plunge into icehole even for charity reason. Welfare! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I want to glide through that flume ride dreamingPitch it from the near side, baby hit the sight!You were so right when you said that I'd be drinkingHot tea from the thermos that you made last night I want to hold you in my shivering puddleYou're a useful helper, towel me down quickTake out my cell-phone because I do believe its ruined nowWhat was I thinking when I said I'd go? I'd always thought that if I wore a NudiePeople would love me and let me get off freeThen I fell again and the suit kept shrinkingWhat was I thinking when I got back on the tee? You are trying to dunk my assYou are trying to dunk my assBut still I'd be lying if I said I'd got my trunks onYou are trying to dunk my ass Disposable clothes were an optionBut Glenn hid them when I went off to the looPeriscope up again with more splutteringWhat was I thinking that I decided to do? It's been a while and the wind's picking up nowI've got the chills and twenty minutes till I'm freeAll this flowing water makes my mind kinda drift nowThink no one will notice if I have a sly pee?

Sunken mountain Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Happy Birthday,Jeff! God give you all the joy you give me with your music Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Happy birthday, Jeff. You have brought such joy into my life for so many years, I can't begin to thank you enough. For some reason, there are artists that we just feel connected to--maybe you've felt it yourself? But everything I've heard you say about the power of music to speak to us personally and to provide a shelter from loneliness, and how the best songs are inside our heads--between the singer and the listener's experience--is so true. It's why it's impossible to convey to others the power and intimacy of a song or concert experience--it belongs to each listener personally. Anyway, your music has provided the soundtrack for many of the best moments of my life--and lots of them with other people, too, NOT just inside my head! So this is my personal "mash note" to you, Jeff Tweedy, for the joy and the depth and the communion and the good times that you and your music have given me. I'm glad you have such a full, rich life and that you have reached a point where you can revel in it all. If you never wrote another word you would have made a great contribution to this world, but I hope we can all look forward to hearing what you have to communicate to us in the future. Celebrate!

zoesdaddy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Happy birthday Jeff. I hope this is the best birthday for you ever! The oversized macrame owl is in the mail. The address on the label reads: Jeff TweedyThe LoftChicago, IL Please let me know if you get it! Have a diet coke or 2 for me tonight, and thanks for making such meaningful music! By the way, I know a lot of folks would LOVE to hear the current Wilco line-up re-make the first few Wilco albums (AM, Being There and Summerteeth). That would be a dream come true!

Kevan Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Happy (kinda-belated TECHNICALLY) birthday Jeff! Hope you had a good one, and in your own words (impersonating Mavis Staples), "Let's do it again" Not in the Central Time zone, to which, I believe, Mr. Tweedy is partial.
