paragiraffe I love arugula.

Wilco, Tennessee Theatre

WILCO! A Tip of the Hat™ to Wilco, who tonight:

Seriously, Jeff Tweedy used easily a dozen guitars during the set. I lost track, but they were all different colors. I was really, really excited to hear “Kingpin” and all of the other standard Wilco show favorites: “Heavy Metal Drummer,” “Hummingbird,” “Shot in the Arm,” etc.

However, a huge Wag of the Finger™ to the two women behind me who screamed like 12-year-old girls at a Kelly Clarkson concert (I love you, Audra) when Wilco played “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart” and “Jesus, Etc.”—pretty much the two most popular Wilco songs, so popular as to where they pretty much couldn’t go a concert without playing them, thus it was not a surprise, and thus the high-pitched shrieking just made them look like idiots.

Also tip of the hat to the opening band who kept playing when the lights went out.

it’s nice to know when a good band can deliver live =) “heavy metal drummer” = 2nd only to “kamera.”
