30 years ago today, Wilco released ‘Being There,’ a sprawling double album sold for the price of one. Jeff Tweedy and company mixed alt-country heart, psychedelic wonder and glorious rock and roll into an enduring classic.
“The biggest threat to the future of our children and grandchildren is the poison of identity politics that preaches that our differences are far more important than our common humanity." - Bill Clinton in 2014, almost as if he could see 2026 coming
