But, being a (mostly) old(er) media guy (both as an old guy and a guy mostly using the latest in old media), I haven't heard the whole thing yet, as I archaically wait for the upcoming CD release. I count myself as a pretty big fan of Wilco since "Being There" (if not any sort of kool-aid (I know: should be Flavor Aid) drinker), liking each subsequent release very much, in different ways...and, short of the new record suddenly ACTUALLY sounding like an America record (clever dismissal notwithstanding), I'd be hard-pressed to imagine it sucking...but, of course, it could...(but, based on what I've heard, I would be surprised at this point). ...All that said, I suppose I should wait, because if I actually don't like it once I hear the whole thing, that would pretty much puncture my whole poorly-laid-out argument... I guess my point being that the comments on Wilco I've seen on the list seem pretty mixed at times, which is understandale since we are not aesthete monoliths (ex.: my girlfriend, who I turned mightlily onto Robyn, doesn't get anything out of Wilco; while -- for modern faves (beyond classic picks of Beatles and Dylan, Lou and Lindsey) -- I would list RH, Wilco, and Radiohead as my tops); and (BTW; as if it matters) Rush makes me dive for the radio dial almost as fast as Seger, Journey, or the Doors do -- or as fast as perhaps Fleetwood Mac does for the Rush fans out here; so -- we're all (wildly) different)... ...So...while I can absolutely understand the semi-"betrayal" engendered by the post-Berry R.E.M. output (I actually heard a 50-ish mom on the bus yesterday talking to her 20-something daughter about music, and she asked, "So, do you like other bands, like the Rem [rhymed with phlegm]?"), but the ongoing Wilco debate out here seems to be driven by people who only SORTA like SOME of their stuff (not that there's anything wrong with that; not that whatever reaction anyone has to music isn't valid; it's all subjective; this isn't the Wilco fan list, etc.). But...I suppose it just may boil down to "You're not that into them, are you?" (or maybe just "lately")...

I was a pretty big fan for a while-- "Being There" floored me, upon its release, as the first record which made me think, hey, actual good rock and roll music that I love to listen to, since like the heyday of the Replacements, and I remain pretty enthralled for a while... although the hype-for-the-wrong-reasons surrounding YHF got pretty thick anda annoying, and I never did settle on a firm opinion about A Ghost Is Born. But at least Ghost was, among its many merits, challenging; on that level the new record is like going from full steam ahead to a dead standstill, if not drifting backwards. In between I went through the Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt catalogs and went through all the whiplash that process entails, but I definitely was a pretty big fan for a good long time. But I must say that teh Radiohead doesn't do much for me, and never has. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 21:20:38 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: reap (fictitious character division) On 5/6/07, Tom Clark wrote: > > On May 6, 2007, at 1:55 PM, 2fs wrote: > > > > > > > I shall pour a 40 (ml) of liquid paper onto the breakroom floor in his > > honor. > > Herb wuz a playa fo sho.

Amplified the other day by seeing something David Halberstam had written, about Michael Jordan facing the end of the career he'd known and excelled at in his late 30s, while he (Halberstam) could still do what he does (and what I do) into his 70s... An amazing athelete is the Detroit Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios, playing NHL hockey at age 45. If the Wings win the Stanley Cup this year, he will be the oldest player ever to win it. If he doesn't have a major injury, Chelios could play for a few years more until he is close to 50. Check out his workout routine: Yep, Chelios is a sick man -- Be warned, the following story may exhaust you. Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios is 45-years-old and still playing, so he's obviously a freak of nature. After reading this gem from Eric Francis in the Calgary Sun, you may well be convinced he's in need of counseling. It seems Chelios takes an exercise bike into the sauna and then pedals away in the heat. "It's called The Desert Ride," Darren McCarty told Francis. "It's gross. It's sick. No one else ever did it with him -- you'd have to be a fool. He's not right so it doesn't matter. He's a freak of nature -- literally." So, Chelios drags the bike into the sauna, along with a couple jugs of water and rides away for 15 minutes to an hour. He makes sure he drinks all the water before quitting. Wait! It gets worse! Francis reports Chelios has been known to put a cup of ice water up against the temperature gauge in Chicago so the steam room would get even hotter. "I'd be in there for five minutes just sitting down and couldn't even breathe and he'd be pounding it out on the bike for 20 minutes," McCarty said. "Never seen anything like it." Hey, whatever works. "Fatigue has never been a problem. I remember playing 45 minutes some games in overtime and the next day feeling even better," Chelios said. "I've accepted my role, whatever it is here, because I love playing for this team and I know we have a chance to win. I've been lucky to play in (a record-breaking) 22 playoffs and only missed the playoffs once with Chicago. For me, I feel it's a pretty good accomplishment to have a shot at the Cup pretty much every year I've played".
