Always felt Lonely 1 was about Westerberg. I have no proof. I don't know why I think that.

I've heard and read the same thing, but I also remember reading somewhere that Jeff explicitly said it wasn't about a particular person. Gold lame doesn't seem to fit with Paul Westerberg, so I tend to think of it in a more generalized way.

You actually read it somewhere? Thats cool to me, because I developed the theory on my own one day. Glad to see I'm not alone on that. Yeah some aspects don't fit him. I guess we aren't entirely sure what/who its about. I would like to trust Jeff's word but sometimes he pulls a Dylan and leads people in a different direction just because he knows he can haha.

Far, Far Away...most romantic Wilco song! :wub

 

From AGIB, how about Muzzle of Bees?

 

I'm assuming you got my message
On your machine
I'm assuming you love me
And you know what that means


Sun gets passed, sea to sea
Silently, and back to me
With the breeze blown through
Pushed up above the leaves
 
With the breeze blown through
My head upon your knee
Half of it's you, half is me
Half of it's you, half is me
