If you could ask Jeff Tweedy one question


Recommended Posts

three equally important ones:

 

If you could only listen to one album for the next year, what would you pick & why?

 

What recording artist/songwriter from the past or present would you most like to meet?

 

Would you play at my 40th birthday party in a couple months? Pretty please?

"Is the new album more like AM or Summerteeth?"

"Do you remember opening for fIREHOSE on Halloween, 1989 at the Blue Note in Columbia?"

That is one of those shows that -- literally -- changed my life.

 

(And, I am not using the term "literally" incorrectly here. It really did.)

Well, music has always been really important to me.

This show changed the role it played in my life in a couple of important ways.

 

• First, and most-importantly: I was a struggling guitar player, desperately wanting to be a lead guitar Clapton/Santana kinda guy. I was getting ready to throw in the towel when I went to the show. But the band turned me on to the fact that THE SONG was the thing. And, from that moment on, I began focusing more on songwriting than learning to shred or whatever.

 

• Secondly: They opened my eyes to how cool country music could be.

 

Since then, songwriting has been a big part of my life. And, country music found a large spot in my listening.

So yeah, that show changed my life.

God but that was an awkward exchange. Almost as uncomfortable as the whole Jay Bennett mixing HMD scene.
