Being There is 20 years old today!!


Recommended Posts

My favorite Wilco album. I miss Jay Bennett.

 

Pretty much agree. Summer teeth and Being There are both outstanding for me (these 2, the Mermaid records, and the YHF demos was an incredible creative stretch for Wilco).

 

And, for me as, a selfish listener and not a member of the band, I wish Bennett and Tweedy coulda put more records out. Much more importantly, I wish Bennett coulda got through whatever it was that led to his demise.

Listening now. It's amazing how age changes the perception of time. I distinctly remember when Rolling Stone saluted the 20th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper in 1987. I was 17. That album had existed my whole life and I was aware of most of my life, as long as I can remember. Twenty years seemed like an eternity to me.

 

Now Being There is 20 years old. I've been in my teaching career longer than that and it seems like a flash. The album still sounds fresh to these ears.
