In addition to becoming a sort of symbol for uncompromising guitar rock — over the years, he has criticized and accepted the term “dad rock” — Tweedy, 52, is a low-key local celebrity. Since moving to Chicago in the early ’90s, he has a “public life that is less than normal compared to my neighbors, I would suppose, but for the most part, I’m able to blend in and enjoy a pretty anonymous type of existence,” he says. But living in a big city has its drawbacks — late last month, police reported Tweedy and his wife, Susan Miller Tweedy, heard gunfire and found damaged doors in their home. Tweedy won’t say much about the incident, other than it’s been “sensationalized and turned into clickbait and I find it really, really upsetting.”
