The Late Greats Lyrics

Cover art for The Late Greats lyrics by Wilco

Well, I don't know Tweedy personally, but given his relative humility in both his songwriting and his interviews, I find it hard to believe that he'd be anywhere near as snobbish about his love for "the greats" as most of these indie rock kids are.

It's funny, because I always made a point to play this song on my college radio show last year, and the programming director (an "indie kid" himself) tried to tell me that I couldn't play Wilco because they were "too commercial".

I told him to shove it up his ass.
