About Me

"Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.’ — Eleanor Roosevelt
"Don't dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
Thats how the light gets in"
“ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge”
- Charles Darwin
"My question is: Could anybody imagine the Wilco record that would make everybody happy? I can’t imagine it. So you’re confronted with that reality—anything you do is going to be a disappointment to somebody. We just have to do what we do, and that’s make a record that we fuckin’ like. [Laughs.] We really don’t have any other options."
- Jeff Tweedy of Wilco
