12/10/2010: What Was I Thinking When I Let Go Of You?

Wilco, I Am Trying To Break Your Heart (YouTube)

I consider myself an indie music fan, and have been since I was a kid. But somehow, I never boarded the Wilco boat. I know the popular songs, but never owned the albums, never went to their shows, never felt my life playing out in their lyrics.

And then this week, I saw Jeff Tweedy at the Lincoln Theater. And it totally changed my perspective on shit. Since then, my husband has given me the scoop on the drug use, the band drama, the member deaths and the best live records.

How did this happen? I don’t know; I’m as baffled as you are. Late to the party, but at least I showed up.
