Rising from the ashes of venerable alt-countrypioneers Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedyhas guided his band's transformation from rootsy americanarevivalists to avant-garde guitar experimentalists and back again. Along the way, they have played darkly-themed 1970spop-inspired rock songs to sprawling rock epics. In 2002 Wilco released the widely popular album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot". The album received excellent reviews including a perfect 10.0 from http://pitchforkmedia.com. The album itself has a complex legend: Initally rejected by Wilco's record company, the songs were distributed freely on the Internet.

Hot Rod Hotel Lyrics
Wilco
I'm A Porter And A Night Clerk At The Old Hot Rod Hotel
I Clean And Scrub The Lobby Down And Thirty-one Rooms As Well
I Wax And Shine Their Boots And Shoes
I Brush Down Their Crinkly Clothes
And I Meet The Buses And Trains And I Show You To Your Door
Bell-bottom Pants Brought Two Boys In At Six-fourteen Last Night
Two Girls Checked In At Ten-oh-two And I Flipped On The Light
The Lamrod's Wife Looks In Their Doors And Finds One Terrible Sight
Those Boys And Girls Got Bawled Up In Their Doors And Rooms That Night
A Bloody Flood Could Never Mess These Rooms Up Any Worse
It Looked Like Moe Had Used This Room To Grease And Breed A Horse
Old Gum And Hairs And Sticky Rags, Old Bottles On The Floors
Gobs Of Spit And Condom Rubbers On The Windows, Walls, And Doors
The Lammy Tried To Make Me Clean Out That Crappy Mess
Or Else He'd Fire Me Off My Job And Let Me Starve To Death
I Laid Aside My Polish Rag And I Downed My Dusting Pan
And I've Not Seen The Old Hot Rod Nor That Old Town Since Then
