I turned 30 in May. The way I fell upon Farrar/Tweedy was via R.E.M. Sounds weird I know. In about 1991 or so I subscribed to the Rolling Stone magazine...inside there was an article about R.E.M. Within the article Stipe mentioned that he liked a country rock band called Uncle Tupelo. Did anyone else ever see the article??

Snail51 I think Saratoga Jay beat youn by 22 years. Think that puts you in second and me in a distant third.

53!!!!! The oldest fart, so far, I think. I was lucky enough to see Jay and the Bodeans within two days of each other this year at Skippers, if anyone is familiar with the place in Tampa. Had to check my cane at the door....

I see us elder statesman is still at a grand total of 8. Come on there's gotta be a few more of us children of the 60's and 70's out there. I quit playing my Pong game to check in thinking the number might have gone up but it hasn't.

I probably posted this before but,
I'm 22. I was sending a Re.ac.tor (Neil Young) LP to a guy on the rustlist in '98 or '99 cause there were no record shops in his corner of middle America. With the 4 bucks he includes a cassette copy of Anodyne he found for a buck at... a record store. Okay, no record stores with copies of Re.ac.tor. So he sent it to me to see if I like it and I loved it. I wish I had is email still to thank him once again, like a real heart-felt thank you cause now I can REALLY appreciate what he did for me, a 16 year old kid who thought anything that wasn't Neil Young was shit. I now know that anything that isn't Neil Young OR UT/SV/Wilco is shit.

like grainpulp i got into Son Volt's Trace first, shortly after it was released. a friend of mine at work had mentioned U.T., but i never inquired much about that. it wasn't until this last few years that my interest in u.t. and wilco increased. i wish when my friend first told me about this "trinity" of music i would have done more searching, but oh well. i love it all now.
the amazing thing about this thread is everyone is giving their age, yet i have not yet disclosed my own. MWUAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
