    yee-hah.
    The splattered coverage of Wilco on film made for a entertaining viewing experience.Wilco are clearly a hard working band who make music that matters to them.Whether or not that had anything to do with Jay Bennet's departure is unclear.But,bands have problems.And when it's recorded to film it makes you watch a little closer.The commentary on the DVD was surprisingly funny as well.Let us just see if their next album is as good as their last,considering,all that has happened.
