Go ahead and look at the two of them. Yes, it’s true; Okkervil River and Wilco are pretty much the whitest bands of all time. In order to kill some time in between sets when you’re not drinking a microbrew, or, uh, standing still, here’s a fun game you can try out (concept stolen from my Crystal Method story):
One point for spotting:
- Any stringy-haired boys dressed like Will Sheff.
- Your Dad (hey, it IS a Wilco show, after all).
Five points for spotting:
- Someone who isn’t Caucasian and upper-middle-class.
- Someone not using an iPhone.
Fifty points for spotting:
- Someone reading Gravity’s Rainbow in between sets.
