Tweedy relates how the band created the songs:
It’s a style of recording that forces a band to surrender control and learn to trust each other, along with each others’ imperfections, musical and otherwise. With no ‘one’ person in charge, the goal can be vague. But a certain type of faith emerges. A belief that we’re all heading toward the same destination, and we either get there together or not at all. It’s messy. Like democracy.
Tweedy continues to seem to me like a wise old Buddha.
This reminds me of the Marilyn Robinson/Barack Obama quotation about how democracy needs to be constantly remade.
I also love how "the goal can be vague" when you there is trust and accept imperfections.
It demands a surrender of control and acceptance that "we either get there together or not at all."
