Perhaps. I just find it frustrating that there is a debate as to whether
on a concrete level, UT/Son Volt/Wilco can be associated with the origin
of the Americana/No Depression/Alternative Country movement.
To me it is a no brainer. And it seems highly relevant that both the No
Depression Magazine and the Listserves 'Postcard' and the offspring
'Postcard2' are all directly related to UT songs and albums.
I AM NOT CONDONING OR JUDGING THE QUALITY OR INTEGRITY OF THESE BANDS,
MAGAZINES, OR ASSOCIATIONS, OR ADOPTING THEM FOR MYSELF. JUST
ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THEY EXIST FOR MANY (NOT ALL) PEOPLE.
I am defintely done with this topic.
