pink floyd

i really wanted to write about pink floyd but i am instead going to write about wilco. i think they have a lot in common yet i will not explain why i think that. wilco. hmmm, wilco. i know a lot of music pals of mine would scoff at them but that seems like such an easy route to take. consider this, they are not misunderstood nor underappreciated, i think a lot of folks simply take great songwriting for granted. jeff tweedy and company are not from the south (and ditto for john fogerty and neil young) yet he writes with the prose of a great southern storyteller like faulkner or o'connor. although it is well over a year old, i think the latest offering from wilco "sky blue sky" is a god damn classic. here's a video for the title track - enjoy.
