"One for the Road:" Wilco

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Feb 23, 2011 10:30PM

Seeing as how Jeff Tweedy endorsed our new Mayor-elect, we thought it would be fitting that we just play something from Wilco today. We found just the right thing with this performance of "Airline to Heaven" at Farm Aid 2005, held in whatever corporate sponsor has naming rights to the outdoor music shed in Tinley Park back then. Bonus: they're introduced to the stage by none other than Senator Barack Obama, trying to fit in with his dad khakis.
