I went to school at SIU Carbondale so we made regular pilgramiges to St. Louis, Nashville, Memphis, and any college town Tupelo would play at. Saw a couple of shows after AM, and wasn't really into the AM vibe. I moved to New York, and talked 5 friends into going to the April 20, 1999 show. Only reason I remember the date was that it was 4 20. We got backstage because one of the roommates had a girlfriend in the marketing group that dealt with Irving Plaza. Another friend of ours got punched in the jaw by Ken Coomer because some dolt that looked like Joe Dirt made a racist remark at Coomer, not knowing he was the whitest person in New York, ducked and Mike got tagged, got free drinks in Big Gulp cups from the band so we didn't sue, and we got tossed.. Was a lot more like a Replacements show, complete with on stage breakdowns, tantrums, insanity, than a Replacements show. I am cool with the new Wilco.

It occurred to me that my admiration for JT parallels that of the career of John McEnroe - youthful brat: not too keen, adult racket genius: tremendous. Funnily enough, I have the same mannerism of wiping the sweat off my forehead with my shoulders/forearm when playing sport. Not deliberately copied, more by osmosis, but have kept it going as a little tribute to the time when tennis was interesting. Can't think of any Wilco related mannerisms ...
