- Jeff Tweedy, author of “World Without A Song,” tells Stephen that his book wouldn’t have worked if he didn’t list some songs that he’s not fond of, even if that meant taking shots at beloved icons like Dolly Parton.

I can already hear Dolly laughing about it and being a witty trooper about it when she will be asked about this.
Dolly is a national treasure she can sing as long as she wants
I agree.
I agree. We all agree. Jeff Tweedy agrees.
But if I Will Always Love You comes on the radio, he switches to a different station. So do I. So do I think most people.
But if Jolene comes on, well that’s different.
@@ChanceTheGardenerrrdisagree. Dolly’s I Will Always Love You is superior
You clearly didnt comprehend what he was saying.
@@BoringTroublemaker superior to what?
Dolly Parton is the first person to laugh with you if you joke about her music. She is the incarnation of good.
I love how when Steven puts people on the spot, he says their full name. And that way you cannot deny that he’s talking to you.
Is there anything Colbert **doesn't** know?! E.g.: Tweedy:"I'm not a big fan of [The Beatles'] 'Ob-La-di.'" Colbert, quick as greased lightning: "Neither was John [Lennon]." He's a walking encyclopedia, this man. So, yeah, Paul, "Please **do** come back on the show." Colbert deserves it!
11 albums later, and this guy dresses like a shade tree mechanic. Love you, Mr. Tweedy.
'Cause nobody gets into the arts to have to worry about what they wear. (I know, there are holes in my theory!) Love the guy, too!
Funny you should say this; when I first fell in love with Jeff and Wilco, I read that he dressed like he was in high school and his mother picked out his clothes LOL. He's amazing.
@Jojoseahorse Shit my mom picked out my clothes. Then it just got to the point where I wore blue jeans or khakis and a t-shirt. I've never been stylish and never really cared to be. The thing is... for a man of his status, he's not wearing a $2k jacket on a interview. Which in my opinion is pointless. Just saying. Realist dude ever.
And the way his hat stands up like a garden gnome's.... awesome :)@@user-ud6zu5tx4q
The spamming in the comments section is nauseating. 🤬😡 I've been reporting it but it just keeps coming back. Someone needs to moderate Stephen's youtube channel and set the comments to filter out words like "Amazon"! 🤮 Wish I could do it myself.
Good point
Yeah I’m reporting the spam as well it’s so annoying
I wish we could filter out all non-relevant comments like those complaining about other comments 😮
Inalways report at least 6. doing my bit ☺️
@@HyperactiveNeuron that was exactly my first thought
music cuts across intellect and goes straight to primal instinct ... there are many songs, like many you talk about covering, from periods in my life that still create such a massive good feeling from their associations
“One Sunday Morning” is a song that makes me cry. The repetitive melody, the soft percussion and especially the voice. Also my lived experience of leaving church and the passing of my eldest brother years ago. I guess I listen to this song as a eulogy.
That song really touches me, too
A thing of beauty
NEVER MESS WITH DOLLY
It's so cool to see someone just act like a regular imperfect human, who isn't all bright and shiney, doing an interview like this. And Stephen just let's him be him and doesn't force in the funny, he just sprinkles it on top gently and with such amazing ease. Really enjoyed this
I remember seeing Wilco at the Lockn' Festival, I think 2014. They followed Willie Nelson, on a stage next to the one Willie just finished up on. Willie and band weren't even off the stage yet, and Tweedy opens the set with something like "let's hear it for Willie Nelson. An American treasure. But honestly, don't you feel like you just heard Whiskey River 15 times in a row?" Ouch!
I came across this clip, saw the guy, and wondered who he was. Then you tell about Jeff bad mouthing Willie. And I thought, “Yeah, buddy, and I don’t even know who the f¥ck who you are.” Maybe he should keep his thoughts to himself. Rude little dude isn’t he?
He’s an angry, jealous manchild. He’s bitter about being so forgettable. 😂
@@jayneneewing2369No, he's not. He's a total gent. He knows Willie Nelson, Wilco recorded one of their albums at Willie Nelson's studio; it's hilarious that someone would form a negative opinion on someone from a second hand story from someone they don't know that states "he said something like..." Yup, if you say so then he must be an asshole... My mind is made up. 🙄
@@jayneneewing2369 I don't like the cute fake edginess. I know what it's like to REALLY take a stand for an unpopular view and put yourself on the line in front of power and take the risk. To me it comes of as a poser and unfunny, because he's clean IN the scene. I didn't watch the whole thing. I looked up Wilco. Heard 'em before. Nothing special, in my view.
@@marshwetland3808 - could care less about Wilco, not thrilled with Tweedy. Probably only band fans and family will buy the book. 😬
Jeff looks like he should be panhandling in front of the theater.
A friend described my look as 'like an unemployment from the 1930s'
(English was not her first language)
What are you talking about?! He wore his best janitor's uniform!!
He does. It's strange the choices people make.
Maybe not a surprise that Jeff and Patti Smith are two of my favourites; dressed down chic
This interview is about it being ok to have an unpopular opinion because it's just a personal opinion. He's actually not demanding others feel the same way he does.
He means she should have stopped that day, not forever.
Exactly! What is wrong with these people?? 😂
I totally understand what he is saying. Even my most favorite bands recorded songs I just can't listen to.
Even though I don't agree with his opinion about a bunch of song I do agree that all songs in an album are not always great.
Also, it's refreshing hearing someone NOT liking all songs and saying it openly
Well, that's one book I definitely won't be reading.
Well aren't you cool.
Dolly's recording of "I Will Always Love You" is gentle and touching. Whitney Houston's version is a jackhammer on my skull.
Yeah, I agree Dolly’s original is better than Whitney’s dumb diva cover. But the song is not a masterpiece-Jolene is the killer. I don’t even think Dolly thinks that highly of it. And before anyone presumes Jeff is being a jerk, he’s 10 times as critical of his own work.
Agreed! Whitney butchered a masterpiece.
Dolly's was great and she's an AMAZING song writer, but that song was perfectly crafted for Whitney Houston, and her beautiful and powerful voice did Dolly's song justice. Also, Whitney Houston wasn't a "Diva" and didn't do unnecessary trills, or overdo notes, runs, or riff when she recorded this song, that was only done later in live performances. And to the person who wrote that, the term "Diva" itself as an insult, is really sexist and annoying just f.y.i.
Exactly, what is Dolly doing writing hit songs? She shouldn't have written I Will Always Love You and then her manager at the time wouldn't have let her go from her contract, and her career would have died an early death.
Always take career advice from the guy who evidently camped out in front of the theater the night before. His life choices are clearly SOLID.
Oof, and he never liked the Beatles song "Oob La Di". You mean Ob La Di? Yeah, you clearly listened to it a lot when you can't even pronounce the song title/chorus.
Dude's done fine. Don't take it so personally.
Clearly. 30 year music career, multiple albums and awards.
He probably just flew in from Chicago, where is from and still lives, hence the hat.
@@chasing8405 Yeah, you can do the same about not taking it personally. Jeff Tweedy can give criticism, then he can take it.
@@tompatchak8706 Yeah, Dolly has had an almost 60 year music career, multiple albums, awards, an acting career, a theme park, and ongoing humanitarian efforts. But Dude has had half her length of career, now makes a living criticizing other people's work and can't even take off his hat and run a brush through his hair when he's going to be on TV. It's wild that famous men can put zero effort into what they do and feel like they have any room to criticize women more successful than them. He could have at least made a minimal effort to like he gave a sh*t.
Haven't listened to Wilco in a while. I've missed Jeff!
You actually enjoy his forgettable brand of pretentious indie rock? I guess to each his own, but that’s pretty embarrassing to be perfectly honest. 😂🤦♂️
@@YogsenForfothGet a life. 100% you listen to utter pish like Maroon 5 and think it's the nuts. 😏🤡
@yogsenforfoth5948 Tweets' S point exactly. He spoke of how a song resonates for him and suggests that that is how it works for everyone. Bypasses reasoning and gets you where you live. In other words, it's personal for everybody. That's how music works.
What a great interview!! Well done Colbert. I’m guessing you’ve seen Wilco more than a few times. But you really asked what I would have…such a great conversation!
Meanwhile… one has to search real hard to find someone who can name a Wilco song
I will start. "Jesus, Etc."
Muzzle of Bees
"Handshake Drugs"
California stars
I'm going to have to listen to Wilco the rest of the evening now. I love them, but don't listen as much as I should.
I remember when i was in college in the 90's, this awesome guy and wilco showed up at some country rinky-dink bar near kutztown PA to play. So. Very. Cool. 🥰
Saw them open for the Jayhawks in, I believe, 1995. I went mostly to see Wilco. Great show. :D
The version sung by Dolly doesn't hold out the I-eee-I like the more well known version as recorded by Whitney Houston. Far be it from me to criticize the late Whitney Houston, her voice was magic on that song and in general, but I do agree that not going I-eeee-I at the beginning of the chorus would have been a better choice.
When Whitney’s version of that song came out, I thought “Why is she yodeling like Tarzan?”
I chalked it up to her still being young in her career, and doing that song, and that way, was bad advice from a manager.
@@timtibbitts1017 Whitney did great...until that warble at the end. Ruined it
Whitney's Bern drug and alcohol free for years now
Yeah, Tweedy must be conflating the original with this well known cover. Parton doesn't drag out the 'I' at all, and the song is much better for it.
So proud of Jeff for doing this, I can't imagine a situation that would make him more anxious. Except if it wasn't Stephen, I guess...
Who tf is Jeff Tweedy?
Tweedy is a great and thoughtful talent.
😂😂😂😂😂 yea ok
@@francinezane4076 🙄
I remember when I was in college and only a few people knew who Wilco the band was but almost everyone loved them when they heard them. Great band
Jeff is the best!
Great interview and love jeff and his music... very enjoyable!
Never seen a man be wrong about so much in 5 minutes
Well it’s…just his opinion, man.
@@smchugh9289and he's polite about it. "Just not for me." Everyone has stuff like that
You did it, NalinX, in about 20 seconds.
Never heard trump speak?
@@randomuser6378😅
Fly Like an Eagle scared me as a kid.
Me too!!!! Did you have a lot of apocalypse/Armageddon talk in your family? We did and that made "slippin' slippin' slippin' into the future' very scary to me. :(
We love your show stephen colbert
notes for each, Stephen and Jeff; The 10 cc album was "the original soundtrack" and the annoying melisma in "I will always love you" was Whitney's introduction, not representative of the original version by Dolly.
Since we all have different ears its obvious we'd all have different hears . Listen to what tickles them .
People should be allowed to dislike certain songs. But surely one can find some Beatles songs that work.
And though I like Dolly's version of I Will Always...., the more famous version was overblown and horrendous.
Dolly wrote the song.
I like Dolly's music, but 'I will always love you' is NOT one of my favorites
@@thunderousapplause She didn't arrange or sing the Whitney version. That is what the op is saying.
I love everything about. DOLLY
Yall are wild... he says he loves her over and over
This is totally crazy. And yet en pointe. 😅
And, neverleless, I love Dolly Parton!
Excuse me, Stevie Colbert, Liverpool would like a word.
Jealous 😅
Jeffs are/is good peeps. Seems to me Colbert appreciated and unexpectedly respected Wilco's comedic instinct.
🎵There's _🥱_ place for us
As they return from commercial, we see them mid conversation, as to say, wouldn’t you like to listen in?
This headline is deliberately misleading. He meant that Dolly should have stopped writing on THAT DAY, not that she should have stopped writing for good. Stephen Colbert should be better than this kind of bullshit clickbait. This is the kind of headline Fox News would use. Booo!
Agreed. The title of this video is embarrassingly thirsty.
What a humble, thoughtful, sensitive dude! I’d love to play D&D with him!
Finally. Somebody said it.
Ok Jeff. Funny lol.
Don't Think Twice is extremely passive aggressive. :D
Leonard Bernstein being mean?! No way
Tweedy is entitled to his opinion, no matter how wrong he is.
The artists have a contract to fill an album, no matter what.
Jeff is one of best song writers of our generation. Looking forward to checking out the book
Boy....ya'll...dont take what he says too seriously. He's entitled to his own opinion about one song.
Someone tell this Tweedy guy that Dolly doesn’t sing the song that way. It’s Whitney Houston that works those held notes that way
I love it when musicians get cranky. He's got some balls!
"I will always love you" is a great song but i get what he means about getting really annoyed by a certain part of a song. I like shallow especially the beginning of the chorus but then comes "in the sha-ha ha-llow in the sha-ha-sha-la-la-llow" part and it irritates the shit out of me. Maybe it's just me :/
He should’ve stopped eating after the first cheeseburger.
He’s pretty self deprecating in his context of “criticizing” Dolly Parton, but y’all who got triggered by the headline are getting played. I mean, look at the guy? Who’s gonna take him seriously?😂
Exactly. He looks like he just walked in from a homeless shelter.
@@mcpbaa3000 You're not smart enough.
You're not smart enough to put together a cogent response. I simply made an observation. And when that idiot goes out his way to trash Dolly Parton he deserves everything he gets, DIRTY.@@Marshall_Stacks
It is ok!, Mr Tweedy , oh wow Wilco is the first band I got tickets for free that I walked out after the second Lol song!
I HATE THEM
I agree. “I will always love you” annoys the hell out of me, in every version.
It got her out of her contract with her manager at the time so she did something right
That doesn't change the fact that some people are annoyed by it.
You obviously aren’t a sentimental, loving or loved person.
The headline here, as people have said, is misleading. The comments are stupid. If you want a thoughtful and discerning discussion of this book, check out the one with Nick Offerman.
As for Tweedy, he’s a fan of Dolly’s. He just dislikes one song. That’s how all fans are. I’m sure Dolly knows his work, too. He’s won several Grammys.
With this book, he’s not trashing anybody; he’s just trying to start a conversation with his readers about music and why we react to it the way we do. I thought it was very cool, and I thought Stephen’s approach was off base.
@jefftweedyofficial Thank you for the rose! (And the other emojis too).
Dolly Parton is a household name, but I had to look up who Jeff Tweedy even is, so…
And that’s just fine.
It's not true that John disliked Obladi. He worked on it overnight before thet recording session and created that opening sound because he thought it deserved a brilliant open.
This book is by and for Jeff Tweedy,
I had no idea that the Beatles where Americans…
Well that was kind of awkward and ugly. And the fact that he looks just like me now, right down to the beanie, is equally unsettling. Long live Dolly Parton! 😻
Criticized Dolly? This guy is DEAD to me. ..Also I have no idea who he is, I clicked the video because I thought he might be a stand up comedian.
Don't know what you like but check out the first 5 or 6 wilco albums. Awesome stuff!
@@markkunkel7401 What's Wilco Got To Do With It?
@@markkunkel7401 absolutely👍 . Wilco is one of the best for me and Jeff is a brilliant muso. Irony is he loves Dolly and he's only talking about one song, 'I will always love you', (in context he said that Dolly wrote it the same day as she wrote Jolene and he said she should have stopped at Jolene 😂). Crazy how many people follow the headline and don't listen or comprehend the context.
UH Mr gun..I'm sure your messing with me but..tweedy is the lead singer and mastermind behind wilco
Someone tell Stephen that the Beatles weren’t American
After his statement that "I will always love you" is a lousy song and should never have been written, I definitely won't buy his book because I'm sure it's filled with inane musings about other wonderful songs.
I'm a huge Wilco fan, but can't say I'm crazy about their latest album Cousin. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm on his side. 😅
Wilco are one of those bands I keep going back to thinking maybe I'll like it this time, but I just don't think this guy likes strong melodies. I listen to a wilco song and then at the end I can not remember what the tune goes like.
Who is this guy?
I hate that ieieieie too. I hate that song too.
classy guy!! he I Thought he was there to unclog the toilet with his work cloths on
Don't be daft - he did that before he got on stage. 🙂
Ironic of you, @561musicman, based on your profile pic.
Yes quite ironic for sure... Next @@Marshall_Stacks
well if she had stopped, then we would not have gotten 9 to 5
It is Whitney's version that has the dragged out notes. Tough choice, whether to slag Dolly Parton or Whitney Houston.
Who vets these guests!
Simple rule: you can't trust anyone who doesn't like the Beatles.
then you dont trust me. 😂
Eat more limes
yea
Truth! Love the Beatles! Paul is a boss on the bass!
He doesn't like Bon Jovi's music, Dolly Parton's work, and several I love. Who TF is this guy, why is he on here with Stephen Colbert, and why should anyone care?
Weird dude. Don't think I agree with a single opinion he expressed.
I'm not alone! Jeff tweedy would also think the stupidest song ever written would be in the sha-la-lahlahla-lahlows.
Tell me you can't think of any lyrics without telling me you suck at lyrics.
Jeff WHO?!
Wilco
He was on Parks and Rec.....
@@MahkyVmedia1 So? Dolly Parton's wigs have more talent than he does in his whole smarmy body.
Is this one of his skits where they get a homeless guy to make goofy comments on topics?
When did The Beatles become ‘American’ icons?
I think he meant that they were revered by Americans.
Will you still love me toomarrrrrrrrrrow… is ok, but, not, and IIIIeeIIII, and not uhhhh place for us.
Sorry Jeff, can’t agree wit ya but, yes I will, I willlllll.
The thing is the original is fine, it's just Jolene is a much better song. Now, I'd rather listen to 10h of someone scratching their fingernails on chalkboard than listen to 1 minute of Whitney Houston's insufferable, overplayed version of that song.
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💝💝💝💝👌👍👍🙏❤❤
What he writes about "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," "Both Sides Now," is beautiful, and really puts you inside his head for a taste of how music affects him, and how songs can transport a thoughtful listener.
He's funny and sweet. I love him even though I'm not sure who he is .
Very down to earth too. Just a regular guy.
He’s a singer and front man of the band Wilco.
I can’t describe that band cuz the music goes through so many genres.
I've been listening to Wilco since 1995. Great band. "I Will Always Love You" is one of the greatest songs ever written so I disagree with Tweedy there; however, of all the more famous Beatles songs I totally agree with "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da." Terrible song.
I don't know if Dolly should not have written "I Will Always Love You", as her (original) version is haunting and beautiful. I would suggest that maybe Whitney Houston should not have made that trainwreck of a cover. Houston's version loses all of the nuance that Parton's had, which, in my view, defeats the entire purpose of the song.
As for the Beatles...I won't argue that Beatlemania was one of the biggest things to hit popular music in the last 100 years, but honestly, most of their songs are mediocre at best. Fun for sure, but nothing to write home about. Same with the Rolling Stones. I would suggest that the Beatles were a bit like Hulk Hogan: marketed extremely well, but not much to look at when you really stopped and took a peek.
Oh man...couldn't disagree with you more about the Beatles. Were you alive when they were producing records in the '60s? They shaped our world.
😮
@@SusanBameI don't want to sound like a troll, however the majority of people who were young enough to be enthralled by the Beatles/old enough to buy their records are not hugely likely to be on RUclips writing comments, as they're now in their mid-to-late 70s (or older). I'm not saying there's _NO_ septuagenarians on RUclips; I'm saying that it's not the largest demographic.
To answer your question, no I was not alive when they were producing records, as I'm Gen-X. I _also_ stated in my initial comment that I wasn't arguing _against_ the fact that Beatlemania was "one of the biggest things to hit popular music in the last 100 years"; they were hugely popular. You can be huge culturally, hugely popular even, and ultimately not be that great musically. There's some Beatles songs I like, but the vast majority of their library is meh.
As for shaping our world? I'm not sure how, as there wasn't a band even remotely like them before or since.
Who is jeff tweedy?, he must be some shmuck they found on the street😂😂
He offended you that badly, eh? Lol
Jeff Tweedy - boring the shit out of us, with "edge of breakup" "americana rock" for 40 years
Who is this again? I like the guy making "hot takes" and then backing out of each one. What a clown.
Just wondering who this person is? He looks like a bum that wandered into the studio 😆 Dolly can sing and do WHATEVER SHE WANTS! this guy can crawl back into a vodka bottle…
He looks like he crawled out of a coal mine.
Low level musician , in a niche band that nobody knows...who cares?
