Hypothetical Dialogue Between Myself and an...
- Hey, are you me?
N: Yeah, I'm at a Jeff Tweedy show.
- Wow, I can see that. How did you get in?
N: I used Ben's ID.
- Oh, that's awesome.
N: Wait, how did you know I wasn't 21?
- I found you on the internet. It wasn't like stalking, or anything, I just kind of came across you.
N: I believe you.
- How many times have you seen Wilco?
N: This is the first show I've gone to where I'm having serious trouble remembering, so a lot.
- That's so great. I've only seen Jeff Tweedy once.
N: Oh, so you're like, 15?
- I dunno, I guess. Hey, Have you fallen in love yet?
N: No
- Have you made music yet?
N: Kind of, not really.
- What the fuck man?
N: I don't know, neither of those things are easy. Wait until Winter Break though, I have a lot of music in my head that I'm gonna record.
- Hey I just told myself that!
N: Oh. Wait, are you like 17?
- Something like that. Hey, why are you alone at this show? Are you drinking beer?
N: Well usually I go to Wilco shows with Ben and Adam and even Eli sometimes but they announced this show really quickly and the tickets were really expensive so I didn't feel like begging someone to go with me. This is the first time I've ever gone to a show alone.
- Adam and Eli like Wilco? What the fuck?
N: Yeah one day in 9th grade Adam texted us "dude Hummingbird is the best song". Dude are you like 13 now?
- I guess, wait, do you have friends?
N: Yeah, I guess so. They're really cool. They like the music I like, except for Wilco. Most of them are more nerdy about music than I am. Isn't it fucked up that this show is 21+? Doesn't that piss you off so much? Don't you remember that time they didn't let us into Beirut? I think I'm the youngest person here.
- I don't remember that. They let me into jazz clubs all the time. I saw Nels Cline at Tonic last week, the guy at the door didn't let me in without a problem. When did we go to Beirut? Don't they hate us there?
N: No, Beirut's a band.
- Oh
N: They're really good
- I'll keep that in mind. Right now I'm listening to Joanna Newsom
N: Did you just grow like 3 years in 5 lines?
- Yeah
N: Okay I think you listen to them soon.
- Cool, is that Stephin Merritt right there?
N: Hey, whoa, maybe.
- He's caressing that woman's arm.
N: Good point. I guess not then
- Why do you drink beer?
N: Are you like 8 now, are you still tormented by the time Dad poured non-Alcoholic champagne onto a napkin and shoved it into our mouth during New Year's?
- What do you want to be when you grow up?
N: I don't know.
- Well what are you studying at school? I don't know what Young Canine Law Enforcement is.
N: I think I'm going to major in Urban Studies.
- That sounds cool, I guess. What about being a... um... rockstar?
N: You know that was never what we wanted to be.
- I know, it's just hard to say "musician". It signifies, like, some guy in a suit in an orchestra or like Mr. Ginsberg in a classroom getting spitballs thrown at him
N: Right.
- Are you still gonna be like a Jazz guitarist and be like a guitarist in a really musically interesting rock band?
N: I don't know. I never met anyone in high school who I could work on with music and I'm still having trouble with that. I don't really do the Jazz thing anymore. I also like singing again.
- Really? You know I suck.
N: Nah it's okay we can still get by
- Okay. Have you met anyone on the Radiohead Messageboard yet?
N: Dude I stopped posting on that when I was like 13
- Oh. Wow
N: I think the show is starting soon. Are you gonna stay?
- I don't know. You should heckle Jeff
N: What do you mean, "heckle"?
- Like tell him he sucks. Tell him he should go fuck himself.
N: What? How old are you now? I know for a fact we never felt this way
- Fuck you!
N: I swear to god I will beat your ungrateful punk face in
- What the fuck are you wearing you queer shit, where did you get those pants?
N: Who buys your clothes? Your fucking mom?
- Heckle Jeff Tweedy.
N: No! Who the fuck are you? Why would I ever do that? Do you know how important he was to us? Do you how important he still is to us?
- I don't fucking want him
N: Without him we wouldn't have learned to love things
- I don't care
N: Without him we wouldn't have learned to care about things, to be creative, to love music on a deep level, to want more from things, and random shit like that
- Why do I need that? Fuck all of that
*lights go down, a tussle, things are yelled at Jeff Tweedy*

Arcade Fire, The Suburbs Eminem, Recovery Lady Antebellum, Need You Now Lady Gaga, The Fame Monster Katy Perry, Teenage Dream
if i had a dime for every time a supposedly intelligent and prolific music critic or fan or friend wrote “can’t wait for hipster runoff’s response to this!” i would cry
