Summary

Jeff Tweedy is a musician and author best known for his band Wilco. We chatted with him from a (sometimes) noisy tour bus in Omaha about Bad Bunny, tuning a PA system, sometimes someone asks him if Wilco is still around, when to throw the gear sluts a bone and when not to, Jesus Etc. comes on the PA while we're speaking, what level of Grateful Dead-ness Wilco has amassed, who decides what people are allowed to do, and more importantly, who cares? His diet and fitness, medical procedures in a post-opiate world, we ask for tips on abandoning your family for life on the road, sexy hotel bathrooms, his book "How to Write One Song," creating vs. editing, they just recorded a video for a disco song, and curating a beachside festival in Mexico. instagram.com/jefftweedy twitter.com/donetodeath twitter.com/themjeans Learn more about your ad choices.
