Jeff Tweedy interview (Hilarious World of Depression)

Long before Jeff Tweedy was the founder and leader of the enormously popular band Wilco, he was a kid in Illinois with severe migraines and a tendency toward anxiety and depression.

He cycled through alcohol, marijuana, and, finally, opioids to try to get to the point of feeling normal and okay, even relying on a fan who worked at Walgreen’s to score him the pills he wanted. Finally, a stint in rehab and a return of self-confidence got him back on track.

Our colleagues at APM's Hilarious World of Depression interviewed Tweedy at Wilco's Loft in Chicago. The Current's videographer Nate Ryan accompanied them on the trip and filmed this video.
