Before Us/ Alone With The People

from Wilco Will Love You Podcast Hosted by Mary MacLane Mellas, Meredith Hobbs Coons, Greta Stromquist, Adam Nash

"Wilco (The Song)": the song in which the band asserts they'll love us "Love is Everywhere (Beware)" in which the band asserts that love is everywhere - and to beware. This is the Neil Young song Meredith sings in this episode. Behold Neil Young's guitar: Old Black! Here's "Bright Leaves" if you've forgotten - or haven't heard - last week's episode. We quickly referenced "War on War" by Wilco. Here's that Men In Black scene we referenced (correction: the belt was the cat's collar) What is an Aeolian harp? Here's an Aeolian harp in action. Generational trauma is a thing. So is the Tom Waits interview in which he describes putting a mic on chicken as it's cooking. This is the Tom Waits biography with the Rain Dogs story And this is The Wilco Book. And this is the "Before Us" recording session video.
