It's the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello everybody how we doing

how we doing like many a middle-aged white man it has long been a fantasy of mind to hang out and

chop it up with Dad Rock icon Jeff Tweedy lead singer and songwriter of the band

Wilco I've been listening to Wilco since the

90s absolutely love that band so I got to live out one of my fantasies and as

you will hear dude does not disappoint he is fascinating and he came to play. There was so much

interesting stuff here. One thing that really stuck out to me is as fans of the band know,

Tweedie's lyrical and vocal style has always been world weary and detached.

What I didn't know until this interview is that that style is actually no coincidence.

In this interview you're going to hear Jeff talk about how he's always felt cut off and

separate from the world and how music has been a lifeline in this regard. We also

talk about shame, Schadenfreude, and freaking out on Weed and we nerd out about some of Jeff's

favorite songs. A little bit more about Jeff Tweedy, he's the founding member and

leader of the Grammy Award-winning rock band Wilco. The band have put out 13 albums and shortly

after this interview was conducted in fact they put out a new EP which I have yet to

check out but I'm excited to listen to it. Jeff has also released two solo albums and has written

three books including his latest which is called World Within a Song, Music

that Change My Life That Change My Music, and that's where we spend a lot of time in this interview on this latest book.

I should say this interview is part of an occasional series we do here on the show called

Bold-faced where we talk to well-known people who are willing to go there.
