wilco – Infinite Yes

Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back) by Jeff Tweedy | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

I’ve been devouring Jeff Tweedy’s autobiography for the past week and it’s amazing. He’s one of my all-time heroes, probably the best songwriter of my generation, and the book talks a lot about his music – but it is also hilarious, emotional and philosophical.

Yesterday I came across a line that perfectly encapsulates my approach to life: “if you don’t ask, the answer’s always no”. I always ask, too! It’s like you know me, Jeff!

Highly recommended read, especially in audiobook format.

It’s tempting to be dismissive or “take the moral high ground" today as the country I’m very proud to be from remains safe, stable and socialist after enduring 10 years of a Conservative, sociopathic leader. (Ignoring, for a minute, what’s happening in the country I live in!)
Instead I’ll quote the greatest living songwriter of my generation and the leader of America’s best band: “there’s no blood on my hands, I just do as I am told.”
Surely, a sentiment held by many Trump voters today.

How Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy learned to grow up and start firing his friends

I rarely use the word hero but of the few heroes I have, Jeff Tweedy is definitely one of them. In addition to writing beautiful music and lyrics, this article highlights how intelligent he is as a business person. I’d love to be like him someday.
