Details

• The songs original title was 'Jesus Don't Cry', but one night the guitarist Jay Bennett lazily wrote Jesus Etc. on a CD and the name stuck. 
  
  
• 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' seemed doomed from the start. It's original release date was September 11th 2001. Not only did Wilco have to suffer the tensions of Tweedy and Bennett, they were also dropped from their label, when Reprise Records parent company Time Warner merged with AOL that same year. The new organisation decided to shelve the album before they graciously gave Wilco the rights for free.
