It pains me deeply to write about anything related to the Cubs, especially after what they did to the Milwaukee ...

Lots of costume changes for Wilco this weekend. Last spotted sporting nifty suits and debuting works in progress at Lollapalooza , the band swapped 'em for Cubs uniforms the next day and treated the fans at Wrigley to a 7th inning "Take Me Out To The Ballgame."

They led the crowd in a version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and then Jeff Tweedy sat down with Cubs announcers Len Kasper and Bob Brenly. [ cable & tweed ] One week until Wilco's Brooklyn show . (thx [...]
