howdjadoo Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't know what this means. I'm not Scottish, if that's what you're asking, and I don't know either Mr. Tweedy's heritage. Jeffrey Scot "Jeff" Tweedy (born August 25, 1967) is an American songwriter, musician, record producer and leader of the band Wilco. Tweedy joined rockabilly band The Plebes with high school friend Jay Farrar in the early 1980s, but Tweedy's musical interests caused one of Farrar's brothers to quit. The Plebes changed their name to The Primitives in 1984, and subsequently to Uncle Tupelo. Uncle Tupelo garnered enough support to earn a record deal and to tour nationally. After releasing four albums, the band broke up in 1994 because of conflicts between Tweedy and Farrar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The High Heat Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Surprisingly there are only three people in the United States with the name of Jeff Tweedy. So one is a famous rock star, the other is a fashion designer. So number three Jeff Tweedy you better pick up the slack here. Maybe #3 doesn't realize that he needs to rise above the ashes of his first creative endeavor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 According to gogo's link above, the (a?) third is a guitar tech for Beck, or was in 2003 anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KevinG Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 According to gogo's link above, the (a?) third is a guitar tech for Beck, or was in 2003 anyway. Well, apparently the name Jeff Tweedy guarantees that you will become marginally famous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ction Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Do we have any details about fashion designer Jeff Tweedy's kids? Like, is one of them particularly adept at the xylophone or something? I fucking need to know this. Please and thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I don't know about his marital/parental/sexual orientation status but I believe he's black, so I guess we can assume he's not a Wilco fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

choo-choo-charlie Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I've been to my share of Wilco concerts, and yes, I'll admit that I haven't observed a great deal of ethnic diversity in the audience. But the same could be said for many other bands. Why make Wilco the butt of a joke? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I thought it was pretty funny, too -- The actual title of the episode was "Let's Stay Together" --- the writers should have went with the "Whiter Than a Wilco Concert" --- I think the episode was all in good fun....

choo-choo-charlie Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm not upset about it, just wondering why they decided to single out Wilco. Maybe they're fans and it was done lovingly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm sure the joke was there and after some back and forth among the writers "Wilco" was added to a blank space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I don't think that's how it happened at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I can't help it if you don't have a near-mindmelding relationship with the former writers of 30 Rock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I get it. I have the same insight into the minds of the writers of Enos. May they rest in peace... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
