You and your ideas represent everything that's wrong with music.

what, this Nels Cline dude is some sort of advanced prototype working musician that dosen't need money to pay for things?
I've heard his shit and I'm pretty sure he's in Wilco for the paycheck, I can't imagine anyone halfway creative would actually wanna play with Wilco for, like fun. It's real limp, boring shit.
What ideas are you speaking of? The idea that boring limp safe college rock music is for the birds?

Jeff Tweedy could write circles around CocoRosie and I don't think he's even that good.
I think Wilco is good because of a sum of their parts.

I'm not actualy in Cocorosie, you know that right?

100% agree

A girl on a piano followed me in a small club. I sat up front, ready to applaude because I think it's the right thing to do. The audience was talking (which, I agree, is kinda rude) when she broke down in tears and wailed: "why won't you listen to me?! (sob) I could be playing the most beautiful song up here and you wouldn't hear it! (sob...sob)"

It was uncomfortable and obnoxious. That night, I made a vow to myself that I would never be that girl.

It's almost as obnoxious as asking for a drink from the audience. This drives me insane. "Uh, can someone get me a glass of water?" or "Hey, can someone get me a beer?" No, we can't...you self-important dick.

I don't see this as a problem.
I've been on stage plenty of times and had exhausted my drink supply and asked for someone to get me one. I always buy the person one when I get off.
It's better than getting off stage and going to the bar while everyone waits.
