Torn ACL

Observations after stumbling upon a rerun of Austin City Limits on PBS last night:

∙Wilco sounds better with Nels Cline.
∙"I'm A Wheel" is still one of their worst songs ever. Just say nein.
∙"Ashes of American Flags" would be better without the bit about the ATM and the unlit cigarettes.
∙Bright Eyes is terrible. Dylan? Are you kidding? The emperor doesn't even have skin, let alone clothes.
∙M. Ward will be worth seeing in person later this month. (Again. He's come a long way.)
