Michael may know this?
Anyone know who The Lonely 1 is written about? Or whether it's not written about anyone in particular?

Some people think it is Jeff Tweedy's tribute to Jay Farrar who Jeff has said he idolized and still does despite the breakup of Uncle Tupelo.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Went upstairs to check a book I have on them but couldn't but find any reference to it. I'll have another look later but Courtney knows her Wilco, so I'd safely says she's spot on.
Courtney, did you hear Jeff was on holiday somewhere recently (Mexico, I think) and found himself in a villa two doors down from one Jay was staying in? The story goes that the guy in the villa between them was a big Uncle Tupelo fan and was happy as a pig in shite to see his two heros either side of him.
Apparently, though, there wasn't much chatting between the two of them. Pity.
