I think this is a joke.  At least they are not being called alt-country.

Esquire is a dad magazine anyway. Always has been.

Too bad it's too late for 99% of you to follow his lead with regard to tattoos.

[LouieB]

Funny.  Actually I did.  Well not really I just wasn't going to do it.

I told my dad wilco was labeled "dad-rock" and he said he'll let them be "daughter-rock" because he's not going to another Wilco show!

This article makes me sad (and made me laugh out loud too). Wilco are fashion trend-setters because they wear the same thing they wore 20 years ago because they clearly couldn't care less about fashion?  Jesus wept indeed. Who is buying this BS?

Can we change the "Dad Rock" label to "age appropriate rock"?

[thingfishp]

How about we all just dig the shit we love and forget about labels? 

[The Inside of Outside]

But I love my label.

 Speaking of which, I just posted in the Winterlude thread that Nick Lowe will be playing the Old Town School of Folk Music on Sunday, 12/7, one of the in-between nights during the residency.

This validates my entire fashion sense.

Hmm very old phrase... heard at least 3 or 4 yrs ago attached to Wilco
