anyone else having problems playing this?
ReplyDeleteIt played fine for me. Great interview!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat interview.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear LIndsey get off the usual "talking points" a little from the rest of the tour press we've heard this year.
Greg Kot is a great interviewer and writer. If you haven't read his book on Wilco, "Learning How to Die", you should check it out.
I had a very difficult time even listening to the interview. Musically he will always be my favorite male artist, but he makes things sound as though HE was solely responsible for the band's success. He was just lucky to fall into the clutches of Mick Fleetwood, John & Christine Mcvie. And he knows it.....
ReplyDeleteEverything he says is as if it's rehearsed....
^ I agree. He always answers every question with a very polished/rehearsed answer.
ReplyDeleteHe sounded very humble and contemplative. He is a musical genius and this interview provided wonderful insights into artists that influenced his music style. The undertone is his love for Stevie- he handled this with dignity and very respectfully towards Stevie. Love how he said Stevie was called away by the wider world and (ultimately from him) as her persona was latched onto by the public. I thought he was not too rehearsed at all in fact there was a sad tone to the interview I guess for what might have been.
ReplyDeleteVery much agree with the positive comments above. I really enjoyed listening to Lindsey, and I thought the interviewer was great. Lindsey came across as humble and genuine. I'm not sure how the person above interpreted the interview in such a negative way.
