Giving new meaning to the I went to a boxing match and a Wilco show broke out cliché, frontman Jeff Tweedy took a well-deserved swing at some poor schmuck that jumped on stage during the band s first encore, . I m sure Woody Guthrie woulda done the exact same thing: Peace, love, doooope.
The folks at Pitchfork today posted a couple of YouTube videos from the Great Springfield Wilco Attack of 2006 on their site, .

Two quick notes here: First, it appears to me that this dumb bastard was going to kiss Jeff s head, father-to-son-at-a-Bar-Mitzvah style in the middle of a song. That would have been epic. Confirmed.

But more importantly, I don t think Tweedy s ever been the same since . It seems to me he lost not just a trainer, but a father figure as well. If you ask me, I bet Tweedy s got a rape charge, a flock of pigeons and a facial tattoo within the next few years.

I appluad Tweedy for getting that fool off stage as quickly as possible. I ll let you know if any fans try to do the same as I will be seeing Jeff solo in Champaign next Friday. Nice, Jason keep us posted, or as we like to say, keep us Tom Poston.

Between the Two Gallants/Houston Police fight last week and the Tweedy Incident the other day, this is actually a trend we should continue to watch
End the violence at shows, people. If you wanna hit something, beat your wife and kids. Oh, I keed, I keed.

[ ] Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy recently decked a fan that happened to be just dumb enough to jump on stage, getting a little too close for comfort. That solitary action must have released years of hostility, because on Friday night at Chicago s Auditorium Theater, Tweedy and his Wilco bretheren were soaking up every ounce of fun in the room.
