Jeff Tweedy Debuts A New Song Inspired By One Of Stephen Colbert's Monologues - EXTENDED INTERVIEW

[@pattydonohue5452]

Wow, Jeff Tweedy is a real man personified. He not only writes songs that i love, he genuinely speaks love to my heart. Thank you Jeff!

[@michaeloneill6527]

Just a Chicago neighborhood guy. And one hell of an artist in a remarkable band.

He approaches life with such presence, truly inspiring. "If you can get to the stage and get through the first few songs they can be healing...." a beautiful metaphor for life!

[@okkietrooy6841]

The best present I ever gave myself was starting to learn to play the saxophone when I was 48. It has helped me through some tough times. It has also provided me with a lot of fun and happiness. Playing with other people but also just playing by myself. Discovering new things. Entertaining other people. Listening to musical. A true blessing.

I live under a rock. Never heard of him or his band. But, I found myself smiling the whole time he was talking. Not only am I gonna buy the book, but I'm gonna buy the album too (do they still call 'em albums?). Oye.

Nice. The beginning of a great adventure. You won't be disappointed.

I don't know if the show's band members read comments but I really want them all to know how happy I am to see them each night and the joyful energy and sense of togetherness you bring to those of us at home alone during pandemic. I love Jon and all of you and I appreciate you so much. Xo

[@adamp2029]

Been a big fan since hearing Uncle Tupelo on WXPN in Philadelphia back in ‘93. Jeff’s music, in all its incarnations, along with Jay Farrar’s has been a mainstay in my life ever since! I’m jealous of those just discovering him/them. There is SO much to hear! Also, I really hope that Jeff and Jay will reunite at some point, even if just for one performance.

I have always wondered if Shakespeare knew that "Leer" means "Empty" in German. King Empty. Fitting.

[@lisashrestha5023]

I imagine he did. He was a master of subtext, of course. 💜

[@SRV2013]

It's not Leer but Lear.

[@ubomninomen7765]

Likely, although it might have been accidental/incidental. Then, as now, languages were always cross-pollinating and mutating, especially in England, where the educated classes typically spoke or understood at least 3 languages (English, French, and Latin). Being in NW Europe, there was also plenty of interchange and familiarity with Vlaamsch and other Deutsch.

[@Misses-Hippy]

@@SRV2013 FYI: Historically, phonetics trumps orthographys many people did not write. There are 80 recorded ways to spell Shakespeare, including 'Shappere' and 'Shaxberd'. The bard himself used many, Willm Shakp' and 'Willm Shakspere are only two'.

[@Misses-Hippy]

@@ubomninomen7765 I probably should have Googled it: Wiki.: "Leir was a legendary king of the Britons whose story was recounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his pseudohistorical 12th-century History of the Kings of Britain. ... The story was modified and retold by William Shakespeare in his Jacobean tragedy King Lear." So "King Empty" is probably just a happy coincidence.

[@okay528]

I would bet 99% of people would have the anxiety disorder JT speaks of if they pursued getting out on stage to sing, speak. etc- i.e. worrying that they have nothing worth saying. I have always loved JT because has a such a great, weird, unique perceptive view that I don't always understand but...I wanna hear all about it. Especially because he presents thoughts/ ideas the favorite way I like to hear them...musically, with other great musicians. I am definitely.. just a fan. Thanks Steven, and Jeff for being here.
