I like "A Ghost is Born" a lot. The critics love "Summerteeth."<BR/><BR/>Court, I guess most bands are like that -- some you love, some not as much. I agree. I like Sun Volt, too, because it's about the music, not the people (however, in any arguments between the two former bandmates, I'd take Jeff Tweedy's side).Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-74370942122765171832008-12-18T15:39:00.000-05:002008-12-18T15:39:00.000-05:00Oh I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands...Obvi...Oh I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands...<BR/>Obviously Wilco needs to do a European Tour (and MN for Stefanie!) - Wilco is actually somewhat hit or miss for me...there is one album I don't love (can't think of the name of it) but I am fanatical about other songs. And I believe one can also be a Sun Volt person at the same time, contrary to music myth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-83221913255901287182008-12-18T09:30:00.000-05:002008-12-18T09:30:00.000-05:00I've heard of Wilco!

Yes, Neil's wife did play (or was that your sister?). Seems your nephew is one for us to keep an eye on as well, no? Let's get to work on that Michie-Miller family gathering.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and how was "Snoopy?"Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-67644836649795095502008-12-17T10:46:00.000-05:002008-12-17T10:46:00.000-05:00Emily, thanks so much for your comments! That's th...Emily, thanks so much for your comments! That's the thing about opening for someone else--you're always going to get a lot of people who don't know who the heck you are. Jeff and the rest of the band like that, though, since regular Wilco shows are always so packed with "regulars." I'm sure there are a lot of people they'll play for on this tour who will become new fans. And who would ever turn down the chance to be with Neil Young? (Did his wife Peggy sing with him at all? She looks so much like my sister that people kept confusing them with each other at the Bridge School Benefit.)<BR/><BR/>I also find it shocking when any great band is opening for someone else and lots of people haven't bothered to arrive yet. Bad rock concert etiquette (and their loss!). But I don't think it bothers Jeff or the others one bit, especially since they rarely do this. Usually they are the headliners and have devoted fans staring in rapt attention and mouthing every word to their songs, even ones that haven't been released yet (I've never figured that one out). It's probably good for their rock-star egos to play in stadiums where people don't know who they are (not that their egos are overly inflated--they are the most down-to-earth guys you'd ever want to meet, believe me!). <BR/><BR/>Last night at Madison Square Garden my nephew Spencer played drums with Wilco on several songs. He is such a fantastic drummer. It was his 13th birthday--not a bad way to celebrate! <BR/><BR/>As for Wilco, I'm relieved they're not more famous than they already are. I'd hate to think of my sister popping up in People magazine or "Entertainment Tonight." <BR/><BR/>And I'm ready for that Miller-Michie meet-up. You know what a fan I am of your literary family!<BR/><BR/>P.S. I'm fascinated by the guy who brought the Wilco wikipedia entry with him to the show! I wonder how many others were looking them up on their iPhones!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-7381833738027728062008-12-17T10:08:00.000-05:002008-12-17T10:08:00.000-05:00Sara, guess I'm introducing the rest of the world ...Sara, guess I'm introducing the rest of the world to Wilco, one blogger at a time!Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-70589937569945144772008-12-17T09:52:00.000-05:002008-12-17T09:52:00.000-05:00Ok - so glad to hear I'm not the only one who didn...Ok - so glad to hear I'm not the only one who didn't know about Wilco.
