"The Last Thing You Want To See Is A Guy From Wilco Doing The Weather."

Posted by Charlie Swanson on Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 5:02 PM

Today, Chicago's WGN's morning show had Wilco on to perfom a couple tracks off their newest record, The Whole Love. But that's not what we're here to see, this clip is front man Jeff Tweedy acting as impromptu weatherman. Draped in his slyly bemused slacker manner, the songwriter vaguely, and hilariously, points out the forecast to the greater Chicago area, assuming that "you can read, I hope. You can operate a TV." I know this video is a bit of a non sequitur for this blog, but really, this just makes me want to see some local artists get on the local news here. James Mercer on KATU? Colin Meloy on KPTV? Let's make it happen, Portland!
