Responding to agirlandamonkey, that is the most plausible explanation I've ever heard, and I am so glad you wrote it here. The only thing I know about Winona Ryder's parents is that they made Timothy Leary her Godfather and named her after the town in Minnesota where she was conceived, but hey, anything's possible. As for "Christmas trees," I have always assumed that it referred to blotter LSD -- it's usually a little picture of something.
i think this was a collaborative tweedy/bennett tune lyrically, based on the first explanation and the winona one. it didnt get played live because of jays departure, though he recorded it afterwards himself. this has always been one of my favorite wilco songs and the fact it was left off yhf, yet hmd made the cut never set well with me, but again i think its the jay thing. perhaps jeff just added depth to jays words.
