Wilco Springfield Oct 16, 2006 (apology)

[jaydubbs99]

jeff was so eloquent in this moment where eloquence is so often lost. to apologize...for what? he felt threatened. he repsonded, and punched a dude in the face. as humans we are trained to feel guilt in those moments when our instincts overrule our civility . not this occasion, jeff...that motherfucker got exactly what he deserved and don't you dare lose a wink of sleep over it. fans shouldn't jump on stage unless they play to dive right off again or if they are invited. thems the rules

[maskedcrusader]

no hes a genius and its "pussy" not "pussie"

[4thPOC]

In Jeff's case, it is pussie. Wilco is always breaking convention.

[jhintz83]

your an idiot. Do you have any reasoning behind that or just being a dumb fuck? I figured

[rmb2101]

What do you mean he has no talent?! The man is an amazing musician and we are lucky that he shares his songs with us.

[BrendanIsCool]

tastes like fish :(

[nowheyjose2]

I love Wilco but I can't stand watching or listening to Tweedy talk.

[bgmiller5]

you don't run up on stage and grab the singer's head...especially from behind. I hate fuckers that jump on the stage period. Tweedy should've knocked the dude out.

[retrievalofyou]

I was there, it was an awesome concert. In fact, way before the one guy got on stage, there was this other guy that was pushing people around sort of, and I was one of the people. Jeff Tweedy mad at him and ater the song he asked me if I was alright, which was cool.

And on the part where he put his hand on someone's head, that was my brother. I think I was the first person to shake his hand.

[swofts45]

Don't let the BASTARDS win? Imagine if Morrissey punched every fan wanting a hug on stage? Then again, I'm sure Morrissey punches harder.

[newporno]

Ha, I'm sure you're right...and alot more people want to hug morrissey if you know what I mean

[superfudge73]

Moral of the story, don't fuck with Tweedy! My friend used to work sound for his wife's club in Chicago. The dude is a major asshole but he's one of America's most gifted songwriters. He's got an amazing amount of talent, but not when it comes to dealing with people.

"I'm in a band(i wont say who) but the real culprit here it the bands and the venue's security, and the drunk guy of course"

Please tell us...the suspense is killing us you douchebag. Tweedy should take a few lessons from Keef on taking out a drunk fuck.

[CrystalCanyons]

Yeah, shoulda cracked him on the head with his axe! hahaha

[newporno]

I know. Like we fucking care...it's probably flea from red hot chili peppers, he has nothing better do with his time.

[barthroom]

I don't know if he would of done that in 1992

[lisapittman]

agreed, he's changed.

[bhamjoel]

yes, he has changed: into an internationally-recognized singer-songwriter who has every right to protect himself and his band's  performance onstage

[travis1999]

I'm in a band(i wont say who) but the real culprit here it the bands and the venue's security, and the drunk guy of course

[tejada3]

then why bring it up

[Tapirman]

"We're not gonna let the bastards win!"

If you can say something that cool and then break into a song as great as "Hummingbird" then you know you're Jeff Tweedy!!!

[llynnowens]

Jeff Tweedy is really swell for handling the situation like he did. A lot of performers would have ended the show because of that jerk but Jeff kept it classy. I was at the show and had a really great time. I definitely felt "full" on the following Tuesday. :)

[GMACD06]

Its Ok he reacted like anyone would. I would have done alot more to that punk!

[chuckutubechicago]

wtf get off the stage seriously - what the heck . . . .
