Autumnteeth Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Was weird to hear that Nick Lowe is not universally known. You can toss the fact he produced Elvis Costello albums, Rockpile was a brand, not a band, in a lot of ways. I am 45, and just like every kid I wanted to play guitar. Nick Lowe was the guy who made me want to do it, and while it worked out best for the world that I gave it up I can't believe that Nick Lowe isn't a memory that brings a smile to everyone's face. This is a great interview, and I appreciate you posting it. I would have never found this, and it was great that Marty caught Jeff on his home turf. The pseudo residency will go down as one of my favorite memories of all time, and the postings, the interviews, articles ,and the setlists made this a great couple of weeks in Chicago. And the postings bring it to the rest of the world, and hopefully everyone gets the impact this band had on Chicago in the last couple of weeks. Wilco brought fun to Chicago. IT has been a depressing year with Blago, parking meter corruption, and an overall bad Chicago year. And when Jeff explained he wrote You are Not Alone it blew my mind. Thought this was some old time gospel staple, not something that was recently written. Hope people take time to listen to the Opera House show. Was a great Wilco moment. The small venues were great, but the opera house show was like a little biographical Wilco moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Autumnteeth Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 And a really great compliment for Pat as I lisetened deeper.. He tosses out a nice partnership compliment to John, and gives more than props to the whole ensemble concept. There is an image of Wilco out and about that Jeff dictates, the band abides ,and this interview showed the true appreciation Jeff has for his band mates. You get the impression it is a collective, which is an awesome statement to what a lot of thought the band was but heard otherwise. If I wasn't somewhat biased I wouldnt be on this board but this is a great time to be a Wilco fan, and this interview kind of affirms that. So much music sucks, and to hear from a band that truly cares for its fans, it craft,and its place in music is, again , cool. Knowing that I will never read an article about Jeff enjoying pissing on a 13 year old only takes me so far. Knowing that what they do is for the craft,and their fans, brings it home.
