Nice, kc.  Much as I love JT and Wilco, I don’t keep tabs on them at all.  The upcoming DVD and new CD in the works are very good news.  I liked this part of the interview, and have seen him express the same idea in an interview on ACL:   “. . . . the world probably doesn’t need any more songs, but I need more songs. It’s satisfying and lovely to do. I feel better, and as a band—I think I can speak for everyone—we feel better making something that wasn’t there ten minutes ago. Whatever spirit there is in the universe, I think that puts you closer to it. The act of creation, you know, it’s a very powerful thing, and very gratifying. I wish it on everyone. I wish everyone could enjoy making something that wasn’t there before.”
