Wesley Willis Dead! Damn that's too bad, I was a big fan of this guy. If you've never been headbutted by this guy you haven't lived! I knew it was inevitable that his career would come to a tragic end, but I suppose it could've ended on a much more bitter note. Rest In Peace Wesley! Rock over London rock on Chicago, United is the only way to fly!
Wesley Willis Dead at 40 [Posted Friday, August 22nd, 2003 18:06:00 Pitchfork Central Time] Ryan Schreiber reports: Alternative Tentacles has reported that Chicago's most prolific street singer, Wesley Willis, peacefully passed away yesterday evening in his hometown. Willis, who suffered from schizophrenia and Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, was brought to a Chicago hospital to undergo emergency surgery at the beginning of June to supress some internal bleeding, but his health had reportedly been deteriorating since. He was 40 years old. Wesley Willis' recordings were strikingly unique, a textbook example of what music journalist Irwin Chusid has termed "outsider music" due to its similarities to outsider and folk art. Willis began to gain national recognition for his unusual songs-- on which he was often notoriously backed only by a Casio keyboard-- that routinely paid homage to musicians whose work he appreciated. He managed to score minor hits in the early-to-mid 90s with two of these, "Alanis Morissette" and "Kurt Cobain". Jello Biafra-- ex-Dead Kennedys mouthpiece, Alternative Tentacles founder and dear friend to Wesley-- stated in a press release today that Willis "will go down as one of the most unique songwriters and entertainment personalities in history. His music, lyrics, drawings, insight and the way he put them together are like no one else. Ever. There will never be another." Willis recorded more than fifty full-length albums for various labels during his lifetime, the most recent of which, Full Heavy Metal Jacket, was released via the Artist Workshop label in 2001. He has also released two greatest hits CDs, with a third volume due out on Alternative Tentacles in October. Yeah it went something like that.

That's sad to hear about Willis' passing. I definitely laughed at some of his records. He performed at my college (the University of Michigan) 2 years ago and it was sold out. He was definitely beloved by a lot of midwestern college kids. My favorite song by him was "Bill Clinton" and "Casper The Homosexual Friendly Ghost"! Funny stuff. RoCk OvEr LoNdOn! RocK On ChiCaGo! HahA! R.I.P. Wesley. | |

I still have to agree with Bud Gaugh that the worst fuckin thing Wesley could have done was fire his band the wesley willis fiasco.
But, whatever. It doesn't matter now. Wesley, we loved you like a magic gift. Keep on rocking on the jam session. Taco Bell, make a run for the border. Keep your headphones on. | |

No, that was a song from The Truth. I think you're confusing this with the "Prince: Music and More" forum. Wesley Willis' music might seem like weirdo performance art to the uninitiated, but the truth of the matter is, he was the real thing. He was throwing the randomness of his imagination out there, and sometimes it was silly, sometimes it was bizarre, sometimes it was violent, sometimes it was just kinda...umm...mmmkay, YEAH. But it was all sincere, and he didn't have a disingenuous bone in his big fat body. His pen and ink drawings were absolutely amazing - if you go to any of his fansites or even amazon.com, you'll see the drawings as covers for some of his albums. He was a unique creature, and everyone who's ever met him has only had the most loving things to say about him. RIP, big guy...kick that angel ass. | |
