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.
Summerteeth is Jay's legacy. I'm not a big fan of the post-Bennett/Coomer Wilco. I'd rather just listen to Big Star's
Sister Lovers.

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.
Yeah, I'd say you're right about all of that. But I'm sure you can find a few 25 year old babes in there on a given night even though I do regard it as the kind of place where aging Boomers demand chairs to watch Alejandro Escovedo.
The old Tuman's was the best, wasn't it? Great jukebox! The only speakers were a shitty box that you'd put in the trunk of a car. I had a speaker company at the time and I always meant to donate a pair of decent ones just so I could hear the music when I went in there.
