I'm really digging that Wilco & Billy Bragg tune. Hadn't heard it before... good stuff!

Oh... and mad props for Poison's "Something to believe in"

Or, as guitarist CC DeVille once described it (paraphrased):

"The song song that signaled the beginning of the end fro us... I was perfectly happy writing songs about screwing fat chicks, and all of a sudden Bret decides he wants to be Bono... in case anyone hasn't noticed... we're not U2"

I highly recommend the entirety of Mermaid Avenue (2 separate discs). It's an amazing collaboration between Billy Bragg and Wilco writing and performing music to the unsung lyrics of Woody Guthrie.

ah... that rings a bell now that you mention the Woody Guthrie thing... I'll definitely have to check that out
