When I went to see Craig David at the 930 club, I didnt expect tweet to be the support act. I really didnt expect Missy Elliot walking on stage during her set.

when I went to see Kristin Hersh, John Doe and Grant Lee Phillips I did not expect Bob Mould to come on stage and do a song with them, hardly the biggest shocker in the world, but it was cool

You're killing me, Kosmo.  I just got "Sixteen Tambourines" on CD and I cannot stop listening to it.  With REM and the Replacements?  I might have passed out.

When I went to see Soul Brains at 9:30 a few weeks ago, I didn't expect it to suck so bad.
 
 Well, maybe a part of me did.

When I went to see the Furthur Festival in 2000, I didn't expect Hanson to come out and sit in for a few songs. I was also surprised that they were pretty good.
 
 When I saw Springsteen in '99, I didn't expect Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Brown, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Bruce Hornsby to sit in for the encores.
 
 When I saw REM in '99, I didn't expect to see Patti Smith come out and sing on "E-Bow the Letter".
 
 When I saw REM this past October, I didn't expect Bill Berry to come onstage, sing backup on "Radio Free Europe" and play drums on "Permanent Vacation".

When I went to see Billy Bragg and Wilco singing all that Arlo Guthrie stuff I didn't expect to be subjected to such utter utter shite.
 
 When I went to see Badly Drawn Boy I didn't expect to See Andy Rourke on Bass.
 
 When I went to an HFS'tival  I didn't expect to be as blown away by Primus as I was.

I believe that would be *Woody* Guthrie. Big difference, there.

Either way, it was crap..and the downfall of an excellent singer-songwriter.

I'm sure Billy Bragg himself would disagree with you, as would numerous critics.

Billy Bragg's descent into mediocrity predated his working with Wilco by 10 years with the release of Worker's Playtime in 1998. From that album on, his work has been hit and miss, whereas his first two albums were solid throughout.
 
    I think a majority of music lovers would agree that Wilco managed to recover quite nicely from their brush with Mr. Bragg based on their fine followups, Summer Teeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

Personally couldn't give a toss about Wilco, they've been complete bobbins from day one...they are responsible for making Billy Bragg shite though, and that is unforgiveable....you are right that the first two albums are his best work, I'll give you that.

if your Billy Bragg can be made "shite" by a band as purportedly shitty as you say Wilco is, then that makes him sound pretty weak

When I went to the Cracker show, I didn't expect to spend 8 hours in the Howard University Hospital to give me stitches for a wound suffered from an unprompted beer bottle attack from someone who had drank about 10 too many.

When I went to see the Grateful Dead, I didn't expect to see a guy get dragged off by security with his bare ass skinned on the concrete stairs as he defiantly jerked off. (I guess I was naiIve.)
