Jeff Tweedy Hulks Out
Some pencilneck got all a twitter at a Wilco show and decided to jump on stage and tried to plant a smoocheroo on Jeff Tweedy. Needless to say, Tweedy turned all green, busted his flannel at the seams, and tossed the guy into the balcony, all while stomping around and bellowing, “JEFF ANGRY!!!!”
Or something like that.
Here’s an eyewitness report posted by someone over at Pitchfork:
“So some dude jumps on the stage. After he gets on stage (who really does this at a Wilco show?), he runs up to Tweedy to give him a fat smooch on his cheek. Tweedy freaks out like the retard from [There’s] Something About Mary who doesn’t like having his ears touched and grabs the dude by his throat. While clinching to his throat, Jeff hauls off and decks him with a punch/open hand slap/shove to the face and [the] dude skirmishes away. Tweedy later apologizes (sort of) and hurries to the point of the set where they bow out before the encore.”
I like my version of the story better, but hey, I wasn’t there, so whaddya gonna do? Click here if you’d like more details on the whole sordid affair.
Any bets on how it takes before “I Got My Ass Kicked By Jeff Tweedy” t-shirts start showing up at all the online hipster t-shirt emporiums?
