4.0

I never write stuff here but decided to start this year. Might also decide to quit later this year, we'll see.

Wilco has been one of my favorite bands for a long time, so the parts of this I was most looking forward to were insights into the creation of their albums and the meanings of their songs. There's plenty of that and it's great, but probably the most interesting sections were about Tweedy's personal life recovering from addiction, dealing with tragedy, and music being the thing to hold it all together.
