Jeff Tweedy addresses his trolls directly, promises them “dishes of warm outrage”
As much as he appreciates the band’s fans, Jeff Tweedy’s not about to let Wilco’s Facebook page turn into a politics-free forum. The frontman posted an online missive yesterday in response to commenters turned trolls (or maybe they were always that way) who want Wilco to keep state and global affairs out of their social media presence. Tweedy firmly states that he’ll continue using his platform to call out wrongs and criticize our leaders: “Not because I have much hope of changing your opinions (again, I don’t know you, so I’m not sure what your bag is) but I mean, MAYBE our sincerity about the things that concern us can inspire some deeper investigation into those concerns.”
