Tweedy Bird
Last night I, along with my brother, his wife, and my husband, attended the Jeff Tweedy (lead man of Wilco) concert at a nice auditorium on the UT campus. We had a good dinner and a few beers at the Dog & Duck Pub before hand. The concert was great and Jeff was just as funny and surly as he always comes off as being on the albums. The most humorous part of the evening, however, was not Jeff or the other band, but the people sitting directly next to us. It has been a long time since I have seen a concert goer scream and holler for a song with such fervor. At one point I got so tickled that I was crying and no longer making a laughing noise although I was still laughing. My personal favorite line was … “Play California Stars … Damnit .. It was our wedding song …” … repeated about 10 times during the evening, between every song until he played it. As my husband put it … “Of course they are married … it takes a team to be that annoying.” ;)
