Jeff Tweedy 'Baffled' By Jay Bennett's Lawsuit

May 6, 2009
Jeff Tweedy 'Baffled' By Jay Bennett's LawsuitWilco frontman Jeff Tweedy is baffled by former band mate Jay Bennett's unpaid royalties lawsuit against the group - insisting he owes nothing to his one-time pal.

Bennett, who performed on three Wilco albums before leaving the group in 2001, has filed suit against his former bandmates, claiming he is owed $50,000 in royalties from his time in Wilco, and from a documentary that charted his split from the band.

But Tweedy insists Bennett is targeting the wrong people.

He tells Paste magazine, "I know exactly as much as everyone else does (about this lawsuit). I've read the news and I honestly have no idea what these claims are based on. It was such a long time ago.

“Aside from everything else, I'm being sued for not paying someone for appearing in a movie I didn't produce. Go figure.

"I am truly sad it has come to this. I am equally convinced, however, that I have done nothing wrong and that this will be handled fairly and swiftly."
