Before we go, we wanted to turn you onto Wilco spawn Spencer Tweedy’s blog. This slick looking webzine offers the 13-year-old’s political insights mixed with social commentary, pre-teen humor, music appreciation and computer expertise. It’s well written and worth the subscription if only for the behind-the-scenes look at life as a rock star’s son. Spencer’s latest entry reminds us to wish a Happy Hanukkah to all of our Jewish readers.
