Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) Interview on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight

In 2011, Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy sat down with George to talk about the state of the music industry and the new label he launched that year, dBpm Records.
"I really did not expect much out of this business or out of getting to make records," Tweedy said. "And I'm honest when I say that. My heroes, the bands that I worshipped, a lot of them never had anything close to what I've managed, how I've managed to make my life. Originally, the idea was, if I got in a van and toured and got to put records out on an independent label, I would have been very very happy with that."

One of the most intelligent and articulate songwriters of our time. It's a pleasure to have you, Jeff!

[@Berbs73]

The pic of Jeff in the background makes him look like he's flippin the bird. Very appropriate...

Sorry Connie, but I love the references to Bon Jovi and the comments. It's all so open. We all have our ideas and feelings...and... I happen to think Jeff is so amazingly awesome-and his whole band! Thank you Jeff for all you've done. Such appreciation from me.

[@offaxisdude]

haha and true.....duh bon jovi !!!!

[@johnvegas9059]

Cop out answer by Jeff about how the internet has changed music. Well, 8 years on from this he was the jackass. It did ruin peoples attention spans and mostly kill albums. But Jeff needs to be Mr Modernity Forward Thinker Everything Is Cool guy all the time.
