Wilco Snubs Chicago. NOT!

The Sun-Times ran an article today asking why Wilco isn't opening up the Chicago date of Neil Young's tour. Do they hate us? Are they annoyed we keep bringing that whole Bennett thing back up? Is Tweedy just a cranky-pants?

None of the above. The answer is that the band is actually afraid we might get sick of them. According to the Sun-Times:

Wilco’s publicist Deb Bernadini says the answer is pretty simple: Chicago has heard a lot from its hometown roots-rockers this year. “They just felt it was time for a break,” she says.

So chill out and don't worry about it. Since the band has already announced they should have a new album out in a few months, we're sure you'll be seeing their nudie suits on hometown soil plentyy soon.
