Don't listen to this

I am officially worried. If you know this blog, if you know me, you know Wilco. The band, the Tweedmeister himself, the most inspirational artist for me in the last decade, and an ongoing obsession, Wilco just is. And more people than ever are finding that out.

This Sunday CBS morning ran a bio on this somewhat known, but not really known band. They threatened that soon this band would get the kind of exposure it deserves. I saw it as a threat anyway. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Jeff is suddenly going to start pumping out top 40 hits. The doc mentions how they have been able to sell several million copies of their records without ever having a hit on the radio - or really much airplay at all. But when most things (bands) get consumed by mass quanties of people something kind of weird happens. Over exposure, a watering down, some jack off talking about their latest single (spoken like a true music snob.) I remember this happening to me with Dire Straits - money for nothing, anybody?

So I am hear to say. Watch the youtube bio of them on CBS (below). And then never think of them again. Go listen to some Coldplay or something. Just stop listening to my band. I mean it.
