Well, my take on the Tweedy solo show is that it kicked ass, like monster truck kind of ass kicking ass.  I had a great time with some good friends and Tweedles was on his game.  Nice balance of wit and somberness.  It was great really being able to hon in on the lyrics for songs, like Via Chicago, that can get lost in noise track land.  Don't get me wrong, I loves me the noise, but there was something special about hearing these songs stripped to their bare essential.  

Between that and the Greg Brown/Bo Ramsey show last week, oh and Dinosaur Jr, and Cecil Taylor (if he reschedules), and Emmy Lou, Bonnie Prince Billy, Gogol Bordello, etc, etc, etc....gotta say that this is one of the best series of ass kickin' shows I've seen in these here parts for quite some time.
