I like Wilco, but they're better than this.

 for those who look but can't see, a petaled rose - after you take the corporate hooks out of your ears, get a nice view of the city, a  libation of choice, lick your wounds and give this band a listen. you could be pleasantly surprised. and what a nice day that would be

That's why 30 Rock rules.

How did Wilco get so popular?  Seems musically lazy and unappealing ...

OK, nice song. Positive and thoughtful. There's a light. Inside. But I would prefer he not repeat the refrain 270 times. 
Wilco is too wishy washy for me. Do these guys know how to wash us in rock and roll?

It may just be Beatlecentricity but I often hear in Wilco (who I love) Lennonesque vocals and Harrisonian guitars

Lazy, banal and just too 'safe'. I like earlier Wilco far more than this.

This song was stuck in my head just last week despite not having heard it in a while. Happy to hear it today. :)

I think musically it's a simple song for them, but simple doesn't mean bad. This one is all about the lyrics.  And I think Tweedy's voice sounds sweet on this one.  It's especially good at his solo shows.

Agreed. I like Wilco, and I like this album, but this song is truly a low point for the band and definitely not deserving of the 6.8 it's carrying here.

Ashamed to say I don't have any Wilco in my collection, despite liking pretty well everything Bill plays by them. I'll be correcting that soon.

Really cool tune.  I see they're coming to New Orleans Jazz Festival this spring along with a bunch of other greats.  Should be a fine time.

It might be because it just followed In My Life but Jeff sounds like a cross between Lennon and Joe Strummer on this.

Probably not an accident here on JT's part.  I like it.  This CD is one of my all-time favorites.  Too bad some here feel Wilco is overplayed on RP.

Let's try it again, folks. I'll type S-L-O-W-L-Y.

PLEASE STOP RE-POSTING EXCELSIOR'S COMMENTS. I don't know why this is hard to understand. He's been gone from the comments threads for a few weeks now, either because he got bored or got kicked off, and the only way he lives on is through people's reposts. If it weren't for those, we wouldn't have to see him at all. At this point, the people re-posting are way more annoying than the guy himself.

Please. Stop. Thanks.
