what can i say? i've been to hundreds of concerts over the past 15 years and apparently they were all preparing me for last night.
wilco is simply the best band out there, at least for my musical sensibilities.they rocked harder, sung softer, phreaked out noisier and seemed generally happier than i could have guessed. and they were at the fox theatre in atlanta, which is easily one of the top 5 venues in the south. it might be the best.
even tweedy seemed amazed to be chatting about how stupid "dubya" is, in front of 4,200 folks in a place like this. according to him, there aren't a lot of "good republican bands." i must give the ultimate props to ashby for thinking tickets to see wilco would be a decent birthday gift. to pay him back properly, i'm going to have to schedule him a marine expedition to the titanic. i'm more than a little inspired. they are the frank sinatra of "modern americana indie rock."
