This is a great quote from an interview with Jeff Tweedy, which i stole from Mark Lee. I liked it so much, i had to post it over here too.

"I think one of the things that's really beautiful about rock music is that it's one of the rare places that people go in their lives where they join together with a bunch of people and raise their voices and sing along with somebody and transcend themselves, to find themselves as a part of humanity as opposed to being apart from humanity. I think that that's a beautiful thing ... Unfortunately there's been a lot of times where I think a lot of people have missed that experience in church and they found it in other places without knowing that's what they were finding."

The quote is taken from a review of a show Tweedy played at Messiah College, which is a Christian University in Philadelphia. Seem like a bit of a strange venue for him to play? He thinks so too:

"Actually, I'm honored that you would invite me to your campus. I think a lot of Christians would consider me a blasphemer," Tweedy said before deadpanning, "I have a checkered past."

Kudos to Mr Wilco for having a sense of humour about it, and kudos to Messiah College for letting a real, bona fide rock star play on campus.

You can read the rest of the review here.

And again, my apologies to Mark for totally stealing his post.
