Jeff Tweedy talks to Spin

July 27, 2009 2 Comments by Jake Brown

Spin: Wilco, Frankly.

“I always think of the song ["Wilco (the song)"] as meaning not just Wilco,” Tweedy tells me at the band’s rehearsal space, the Loft. “I always think that song is saying, ‘Your records will love you, baby.’ The overall message is to find consolation through music. I think it’s sincere, but at the same time, it’s meant to be a little bit funny.”

The online version contains a little video of Tweedy riffing with his kids. Cute.

    What, no cute puppies or thoughtful walks on the shore?

    Maybe that’s in the extended print interview.

    That’s what I took it to mean! I actually understand what Jeff Tweedy meant in a song! I rule!
