But that didn't stop an abnormally high number of women who dressed like they did in their early twenties (see: cleavage) while their dutiful husbands stood by their side. I imagine these people play Wilco on their drive to the cottage and then again on the patio before they go Sea-Dooing. If you've been watching HBO's new series, Flight Of The Conchords, they are all like Mel, the super-fan who stalks the duo with her husband in tow.
Their parents just dropped them off and they've smoked their joint in a nearby alley, worried the cops might walk by at any second (and who could blame them, they're smoking drugs at Shuter and Victoria). Trust me, there's little on this Earth that's funnier than listening to conversations of privileged late-teens who think A Ghost Is Born and Sky Blue Sky are the best records they've ever heard. The host of CBC's Hockey Night In Canada is a fan, according to our news editor.
He also enjoys The Tragically Hip and Blue Rodeo, if you can believe it. Anyway, MacLean gamely posed for cell phone pictures and stood for the duration of the show. Thankfully, he didn't dance, because if he had I could never have watched HNIC with a straight face ever again.
I think he must be aware of these things. These guys, on the other hand, could have cared less. I saw one dude spinning in a circle, shedding the mental shackles of his oppressive job in Mazda sales to the sweet sounds of Nels Cline's many, many guitar solos.
Weirdly, these goateed men were the only ones in the entire building who were outright dancing. Clearly their girlfriends were either high or wanted to sleep with Tweedy, because I can see no way that any member of the opposite sex could have willfully condoned this otherwise. Who crowdsurfs at a Massey Hall concert, much less one performed by Wilco?
Tweedy had this douchebag kicked out before the second encore. "You hurt some people down here," the frontman said shortly before the guy was escorted out of the building. For a more detailed review of what Wilco sound like live because they really haven't changed very much click here.
