Friday, Jul 11, 2025 - Posted by Rich Miller * It’s difficult to describe to people now what it was like to listen to Wilco’s intentionally and delightfully stripped-down A.M. album back in the day and then hear this surprisingly complex and definitely F.M. tune at the end. “Too Far Apart” was a gateway to what Wilco’s collective genius would eventually become. Get some good speakers and turn it up… Is it really punk rock, like the party line? Darned near transcendent. * What’s happening in your neck of the woods?

I remember fondly Wilco’s headline performance at the 2012 Hideout Block Party, attending the whole day with my older son (age 13) for his first real concert.

Former utility infielder Lee Elia, who played for both the White Sox and the Cubs, has passed. He is better remembered for a post-game tirade during his tenure as the Cubs manager. You can take that right downtown and print it.

When the ILSOS announced the winner of the flag contest as being the existing flag, there was still a caveat that the decision was to be presented to the GA and they would vote on whether to keep the existing flag or adopt a new one. Did this ever happen? I have looked multiple times and do no see that it was approved? If it has not been done does anyone know the process moving forward?

Made it through donating platelets at ImpactLife today and just thinking how proud I am of people in Illinois who give to help others.

Did ilga.gov just turn grey for anyone else?

Absolutely the best Wilco album IMHO - there’s not a single ’skipper’ on this album.
