Was he still beefing with the Estate of Jay Bennett?

He can get a blowjob from any 25 year old broad in FitzGerald's whenever he wants but nobody but a nut like me recognizes him at the Daley Center.

I'd imagine so. Bennett (or at least his estate) has a pretty good claim to royalties from pretty much every Wilco record from Being There to the one after Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Bennett didn't work on AM or the albums after YHF, but there are songs on subsequent-to-YHF albums that were holdovers from the Bennett era.

When's the last time you were at Fitzgerald's--do people under 30 ever go there anymore? Friendly Tap down the street from there does shows now. Some chick from American Idol used to play there before the renovation, which destroyed what was once a very chill bar. Kinda how Tuman's lost whatever charm it once head after it was renovated by the Mac's guys.

Partied with him numerous times in the 90's. Just the click of people I hung out with, working at some bars, going to DePaul, after parties kind of stuff. No doubt he was playing too cool for the room rockstar, but was always nice to me, because I think he thought I played hoops at DePaul because I would walk in with some players so he was always really nice. .

I have never heard of this famous person you speak of. Is that really his last name or a nickname?

I miss Lounge Ax.

He's not nearly as famous as he thinks he is.
