Jeff Tweedy’s son has a blog, is awesome

Guy, Jeff Tweedy’s son Spencer Tweedy has a blog. Kyle from More Cowbell pointed it out and it’s just great. The above photo is from Spencer’s birthday when he got to drum with Wilco at Madison Square Garden. Here’s a little clip about that show from his post on it:

You might be (or at least I am) wondering how this whole thing came into place. Well, this past Neil Young/Wilco tour, Glenn Kotche (Wilco drummer) was unavailable for a few dates. My dad told me that the shows he was missing were near the end of the school year, and maybe we (the family) could come out for them and that I could play. It turns out that the dates were actually mid-tour Canadian shows, not end-of-the-tour NY shows. Oh well, better luck next time. Or not. We decided we could do it anyway, it would be on my birthday after-all! After the gig was confirmed, I promptly asked my dad, “Ya know maybe I could get like a tenth of Glenn’s salary for the night–that way I could be ALL my birthday presents.” Heheh.. that didn’t work out.

I don’t know how old his son is exactly, but I can promise you that when I was his age I was picking my nose and reading Spiderman comics. Way to go, kid. You run a fun blog and have already performed at Madison Square Garden.
