Joe the Plumber meet “Wilco the Song.” Jeff Silky … err … Tweedy braved Stephen Colbert’s relentless grilling on Oct. 30, and Wilco debuted a new tune. It’s a shame the song was a one-time deal for the show … it’s pretty gosh-darned good. And in the spirit of voting the band is offering a free download of its performance of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released” with the Fleet Foxes to those who pledge to hit the polling booth. As Colbert put it, sounds like socialist behavior.
