Deconstructing: Jeff Tweedy
“To a listener accustomed to Hootie and the Blowfish, Wilco sounds like the Minutemen?daring, allusive, funky, weird, and yet so right. To a listener accustomed to the Minutemen, Wilco sounds like Hootie and the Blowfish…” Stephen Metcalf, and a new book called Wilco: Learning How To Die …dare to suggest that this “culturally significant” band is fronted by a guy who completely lacks artistic conviction. I’m a fan but I think they’ve got a point.

dont let Jeff Tweedy’s occasional article in the Nation fool you. This guy’s a total rock star. He stole my girlfriend about 10 yrs ago. Needless to say, he jumped in bed w/ her and dumped her a couple of days later. Sadly, she started following the band around city to city. This was right before the Uncle Tupelo break up. I agree w/ the Metcalf guy above. Tweedy is a joke. We all know Sun Volt is the better band!
