Jay Farrar

This sucks a mop!!!!
Decoration Day and Outfit, and Danko/ Manuel are 3 of the best songs written in the last 5 yrs imo.

West -Lucinda Williams Very uneven. Sorry to say it seems she keeps recovering the same material, 'cause i really love her work. For the love of Christ I wish she would stop the rapping Modest Mouse We were Dead .... Isaac Brock may be a monumental prick but damn he's a hell of a songwriter Gillian ...

Meth
LTrain
Highways and Cigs
Phosphate Skin

I think these are my fav. 4 songs played in sequence on any Son Volt since the first four from Straightaways:

Back into your World

Bright Eyes- He's the antichrist not Bob Dylan's bastard son
Franz Ferdinand- I fart in their general direction
U2- Bono-Please shut the fuck up

Torn between the unknown

And the place you call home

And the life you want but have never known

I think this is right out of our collective unconscious- genius

Litttle Wing Stevie Ray Vaughn
And it's blowin' me away

I agree with several folks here:

1. Many of the Via Chicago folks had problems with their toliet training
2. Wilco is an amazing band live
3. Tweedy is going to snap one day, in a major way.
4. He tried fuck my blow- up doll and I'm not over it.

25 years gone today. John was and still is one of my favorite songwriters.

What are your favorites, thoughts, memories of John?
