The Best Song Will Never Get Sung
Whew. I'm exhausted. The Wilco show in Nashville last night was absolutely great. I think there was at least 75 folks there from Chattanooga and Covenant, maybe more. The evening ended on a rather surreal note. But first things first:
Great thing 'bout a show like that is the audience is comprised of mostly hipsters. Aloof folks, insecurity written all over their ivory-snap button flannel shirts and John Deer green hats. So the most movement you'll see from them during the night is maybe some head nodding. Chattanooga/Covenant showed up and went absolutely nuts dancing the pants off that place.
Key hilarious moment, midway through "Late Greats" when Todd & I lifted Eb up on our shoulders and he stripped off his shirt and started spinning it over his head. Jeff Tweedy gave him/us this 10 second wierd look like "what the heck is going on"? It was hilarious.
Ride home Mesh's purple van o' love broke down. Thankfully, since half of Chattanooga was in town, we were able to score a ride with David & John Totten. Me, April, & David Macey crammed in the back. At one point we stopped at a Macdonalds where the drive through attended asked John "Do you speak spanish?" She, interestingly enough, didn't speak English.
So we finally made it home 'round 4:00 a.m. I had a hard time falling asleep; Kidsmoke & Late Greats running through my head. Wilco puts on a riveting show.
Mesh' van is still in Mufreesboro though. So if any of y'all wanna give him a ride up there, like, now to get it. Drop him a line. I would, but I've gotta work. Which is why I have time for this blog post...

The Big Purple Van o' Love is back in Chattanooga action -- thanks in no small part to Mr. Chris Totten and his awesome VW hatchback transport service -- but that was likely her last extended road trip. We, the BPVOL and I, drove through the almost-auturm mountains, listened to Alan Jackson's "Livin' on Love," and remembered the good times. We agreed that most of them somehow involved Morris.
