The first time was at the place down the street from Francisco's rehearsal warehouse...Axiom, Catal Huyuk? Was it both those names? I can't remember...anyway, it was an Uncle Tupelo show, right after the release of "Still Feel Gone". I remember there was absolutely no one there, less than 20-30 people, and for some reason or another Jeff and I ended up playing pool. I also remember getting a sort of "punky kid" feeling from him...he didn't seem to be all that countryish...I even remember he had on an Urge Overkill T-shirt. Wow, this is weird...I haven't thought about this in a long time...Anyway, the next time they came through, they played at Fitzgerald's, and I'm thinking that this must've been when your interview took place, because the tension onstage was fairly palatable...it just didn't seem like anybody was really having much fun, and then at the end, some extra guys came on...the road crew or somethin', and they played some old standard like "Pay Me My Money Down", something like that...it was funny, because the roadie that was playing bass ended up in Wilco, so in hindsight you could sorta see how the change was already taking place. Afterward, they were just hanging around, and Jeff remarked "Hey, your that guy I played pool with once, right?" So, we had a nice time, and talked about Chicago, music and stuff. He seemed like a good guy, so ultimately I sorta felt bad because honestly, I think Wilco is a big bag of shit. But, hey...scat's the way it goes, huh? I met Jeff twice during the early 90’s.

Once he got started, people in the audience were yelling more. I remember Air Supply, Mudhoney, Canned Heat, Three Dog Night, Vanilla Fudge, and Meatloaf. Later when the topic came up again, somebody shouted out "Pearl Jam" and he pointed and shouted right back, "You've been sitting on that one!"<br /><br />Lovin' Spoonful did come up at one point when he was substituting other band names for "Kiss" during "Heavy Metal Drummer," but that was a different context.

Please elaborate.<br /><br />Justin, I'm very sorry to hear that you were interrupted by a station manager who obviously lacked all of the social graces. I can't imagine how rude she must have seemed to not only yourself and the band members, but also to the listening audience. Obviously, she's the type of person who would never be able to understand how profound a thunderous silence can be. Carlos, what’s the scatological connection to Celine Dion? Please elaborate.

Though it does seem like almost any band name can be interpreted as some sort of scat reference - Led Zeppelin, April Wine, Air Supply, Run DMC, B-52s, Butthole Surfers (well this one i'm sure IS a scat reference), Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Nirvana, Green River, The Wailers, Pearl Jam, Dinosaur Jr, Mudhoney, The Offspring, Green Day, Rolling Stones, Cream, Bad Company, Deep Purple, the Kinks, Journey, Dead Boys, Big Boys, Runaways, Kajagoogoo, the Stranglers, the Alarm, Art of Noise, Can, Rush, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Skid Row, Simply Red, Tears for Fears, Til Tuesday, the Stooges, Canned Heat, Lovin Spoonful, Three Dog Night, Velvet Undergroundm, Blind Melon, Celine Dion, you get the picture. The subject is ripe for a book - the Encyclopaedia of Band Names Re-interpreted as Scatological References. With a special food section - Vanilla Fudge, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Meatloaf, the Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Chocolate Watchband, Black-eyed Peas, Gread, Hot Tuna, etc etc etc Thats pretty funny about the band names.
