Jeff Tweedy at Lincoln Theatre

Great show. No Wilco songs, not surprisingly. Played mostly songs from Twight light Override. Two of his kids in the band. The rest were apparently friends with his kids from the neighborhood.

Quotes

People aren’t in awe of your sharp mind? So be it. But you have many other qualities you can’t claim to have been deprived of at birth. Display then those qualities in your own power: honesty, dignity, endurance, chastity, contentment, frugality, kindness, freedom, persistence, avoiding gossip, and magnanimity. —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 5.5

Since habit is such a powerful influence, and we’re used to pursuing our impulses to gain and avoid outside our own choice, we should set a contrary habit against that, and where appearances are really slippery, use the counterforce of our training. —EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 3.12.6
