Ex-Wilco member sues Wilco

text: Matt Carr

The Chicago Tribune reports that former Wilco member Jay Bennett (1994 - 2001) sued Jeff Tweedy in Cook County Circuit Court yesterday asking for $50,000 for an unpaid appearance in the 2002 documentary I Am Trying To Break Your Heart and royalties on songs written during Bennett’s tenure with the band. According to Andrew L. Wang of the Tribune, the suit “concedes that Bennett was paid during his years in the group, but only in ‘infrequent partial payments’ equivalent to 15 percent of the band’s income from sales and performances.” I guess 15% just doesn’t cut it anymore. Wilco (The Album) is still slated for its June 30th release date. 

Wilco to your liking? You'll sweat:

“Mindkilla” is awesome. I’ve got this music video last week and really impressed through watching every performance particularly “Glass Jar”. Thanks dude. :)
