Tweedy memoir coming soon
I am about 75 pages into this book. Utterly fascinating, at least to me. I am the same age as Jay and Jeff and grew up in a neighboring town. I went to the same concert venues (Mississippi Nights) and record store (Lame Duck) in Belleville Jeff is writing about. Not much else in common, thought. I am the oldest of 4 and Jeff was the youngest of 4, and our lives were very different growing up. He is writing a lot of detail about his early experiences with Jay. Very entertaining and interesting. This book is (not surprisingly) very different and much more detailed than Jay's, which I also enjoyed very much. I think most on this board would like it. If you are on the fence get it.
He’s got a solo album coming out soon too: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/ ... ign=180924
I was excited when I saw the "twang-tinged" descriptor in the headline, but the song is an absolute dud.
And Tweedy looks like he’s eaten three of his younger selves.

I watched a nicely done interview of Tweedy talking about his drug problems
and how being an addict gave him the ability to escape the horrors of being a musician, father, collaborator, friend, and good human being. Ah, let’s hope this new sense of self and the selflessness that comes from it, ushers in a brand new era of the Tweed.

Tweedy memoir coming soon
Hope all you fine people have been doing well! I’ll read this raptly through Summerteeth and Mermaid Avenue and then likely with utter disinterest from that point forward:
