wilco book
Jeff Tweedy's struggle with music, the music business, his bandmates, his family and himself -- but mostly with music -- was the subject of a fine documentary by Sam Jones, ''I Am Trying to Break Your Heart'' (2002), and now it is the subject of Greg Kot's brisk and entertaining biography. Rarely has so much attention been paid to a musician who has never quite succeeded commercially, or in his own mind, or in the minds of his oft-perplexed fans. But Tweedy is worth it, for his failures as much as his successes, for the cloudy clarity of his work.
