BIG DEAL! Where is the apology? So much for "Fan-friendliest" Band. I urge ALL Charlestonians to ban SNL this week out of solidarity for all of us heart-broken fans.

The SNL gig with Ellen Page is a wise marketing decision, as it is certain to be a highly-rated episode. Artists have to make money just like the rest of us. I saw their performance in support of Sky Blue Sky in Amsterdam last May - it's worth the wait.

Good marketing? I don't know anyone who watches SNL anymore. I'm from St. Louis and had the pleasure of having Uncle Tupelo as a local band favorite and have been a fan of Wilco obviously for years and this turn of events is very offputting and I've lost a little respect for the band.

So much for cameo appearances at the Blue Mountain show the night before as well. I saw Wilco last spring in MA. Any performance from them is worth the wait, not worth the sting of postponement.
