The end...

...of an era of sorts.

I went and saw Wilco for what is probably the very last time a couple of nights ago. They were good as they always are. The kept Sky Blue Sky songs to a minimum. I only felt like i was driving a Jetta for a very short time. I was as close as i've ever been to the band for the first 15 minutes of the show, that was neat. I went with another person to a Wilco concert for the first time ever, it was distracting. I left the show about 2/5ths of the way through because of personal problems. I still shuddered the whole way through when they played Pot Kettle Black. The fans at the show seemed like jerks. I still knew all the words to all the songs the played. It felt good, really good, and i am not sad that i left early even though they played 2 encores of 9 songs primarily from Being There. Wilco is probably one of my favorite bands. I can listen to their records from time to time and feel good, but i've seen them enough times to know that their live shows are increasing in price, deteriorating in quality, and the people at them don't feel like i do about the music. That's the most way concise way I can say it.

muchluv,

kev.m.
