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\\u2019s to score him the pills he wanted. Finally, a stint in rehab and a return of self-confidence got him back on track. There\\u2019s a really sad and darkly funny story in this episode involving a teddy bear and a jar.
