I'm certain Nick Offerman is involved in social media. I urge you to him contact via Twitter or some such and ask him directly. You might get an answer.

Well-played sir. This kind of thing really chaps my ass too. Speaking of, has anyone else seen that Jeff Tweedy is included in the book 'Gumption' by Nick Offerman, aka Ron Swanson on Parks & Rec? It's a book of Offerman's favorite Americans of all-time, each individual getting a chapter of his/her own. An otherwise excellent and hilarious book, Tweedy's chapter makes only very brief reference to Uncle Tupelo, no mention of Jay Farrar, and celebrates Tweedy as one of the greatest American songwriters ever. Seriously? Tweedy? Did you ever listen to the other half of Uncle Tupelo, Mr. Offerman?

A guy walks into a bar

It takes all kinds.

Every bar has a Cliff. You know the guy: An expert on everything who knows nothing.

I'm eating lunch and consuming mass quantities at the Grumpy Troll in Madison, Wisconsin. The bar is crowded, filles with weekend tourists. I overhear a conversation near me when I hear 'Wilco' mentioned. Cool. The house dude goes in to explain how he's BFF with the band, and then proceeds to tell the couple next to me the history of the band, starting with YHF. I learned thta Jeff Tweedy is a misunderstood genius who broke up the first bamd he was in. I don't the the dude appreciated my snicker, nor my avenue of questioning, which started with, "Ever heard of Jay Farrar [blank stare] and ended with "You may want to brush up on your UT facts [again a blank stare].
