Title: Saw Mikael Jorgensen from Wilco at Jury Duty
Post by: Loki on September 09, 2008, 09:25:53 PM
Pretty self-explanatory topic.  I was kinda shocked to see a semi-celeb there at Brooklyn Supreme Court yesterday.  We were actually empaneled on the same case, and went through voir dire together.  Didn't seem stuck up at all -- in fact, he seemed kinda introverted and somewhat awkward based on the way he spoke.  I don't think he ended up being one of the jurors chosen, however (neither was I), so I believe I'm at liberty to mention this.

I didn't even know who he was until he was questioned by the lawyers and said that he was a musician who travels ~3 months out of the year.  The plaintiff's attorney asked what band he was in, and he said "Wilco," and the atty replied "oh, I'm very familiar with your band."  Obviously he was a fan.  I just googled him to see which band member he was (I didn't take note of his name initially), and based on the pic that's definitely the guy: Mikael Jorgensen, lead keyboardist.  His Wiki page says that he's relocated to Brooklyn, so it makes sense.

Just figured I'd let you guys know in case anyone is a fan. :D  Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to speak to him personally, since he was on the first panel of ten who were questioned, and then he was dismissed.  So nothing juicy (or particularly interesting :P) here.

Awesome! I'm going to see Nels Cline play with Tom Verlaine and Thurston Moore in a week or so.

Considering that I don't know ANY of the musicians you just referenced, I can only hope that you're not somehow having a laugh at my expense. :D  Are they in the same genre as Wilco? (Whose music I'm not familiar with either, btw.)

The Grisham novel?  I would have if I could recall any of it -- I read it about 15 years ago. :P

Can't say I've had the pleasure of seeing it.  Can't be any worse than the adaptation of "The Firm," though. :lol

I read this as Willco the poster and Jury Duty the movie at first.

I was REALLY confused.

Nels Cline is in Wilco. He's also an amazing avant garde guitarist. Tom Verlaine is from the legendary Television and Thurston Moore is from Sonic Youth.

Yeah, you'd be surprised at how modest some of the lesser-known musicians are. I got to meet Ferry Corsten, Sander Van Doorn, and Sasha (HUGE names in dance music, but not really that well known outside of it) and was taken aback how low-key and introverted they were.

No, those were the seven stages of my reaction to what was essentially a SHAMELESS PROPOSITION. ;) :P

Tauntaun doesn't proposition, because that would make the assumption you have a choice in the matter.
