(a) When the driving force behind the band was John Lombardo --- The Wishing Chair and the Hope Chest material --- they were clearly at their most interesting, their most adventurous, and their best.
(b) When John Lombardo left and the driving force behind the band became Robert Buck --- In My Tribe, mainly --- the band was still solid, but in a very different, very bordering-on-cheese kind of way.
(c) When Natalie starting taking over --- some of Blind Man's Zoo and the execrable Our Time in Eden --- the border of cheese was neatly crossed with all passports in order.
(d) Tigerlily.

Nitsuh: Does John & Mary's output support your Lombardo thesis? Have not heard.

Seriously: give me a problem with the world, and I'll figure out a way to blame it on Natalie. Although I must admit, I was watching a documentary last week on the Billy Bragg / Wilco / Guthrie project, in which she appeared, and I got to remembering why I liked her so much to begin with. So well-meaning . . . but I liked it better back when she was awkward and spinning in circles while Buck beat "My Mother the War" out of his guitar.
