Wesley Willis is dead.
I don't believe this. From Alternative Tentacles:

I'm not really very familiar with him or his work except for only hearing one or two songs, but that sucks. :(

I will never forget when I met Wesley Willis. He was staying at a high-school friend of mine, who used to be in some bands around detroit. Once after seeing Wesley play, my friend told him that if he came back to detroit, he could stay at his place. Wesley promptly took said friend's phone number, and on his return to detroit took my friend up on his offer.
I went over and Wesley busted out the keyboard and put on an intimate show. My souveneirs are not only photos of the evening, but also an original W.W. lyric sheet (laminated from Kinko's and everything), for a song that Wesley decided not to record. It was entitled "Save the Animals," and Wesley had dropped the song because he decided instead, "...fuck the animals!!!" He then told me to "...get these demons off my back!!!" This is very very sad news :tear |

I was fortunate enough to be shown the proper technique of butting a man's head by the master. Apparently it's very important to look a person in the eyes as you butt their head.
Earlier in the evening Wesley told me that he would "bust a cap in my motherfucking ass." He had been listening to the Ghetto Boys. What a great show, he still had the Fiasco. I saw him a time or two later with the keyboards. He had gotten so big, it was scary. He sounded like a bear when he was breathing. The grunting and such. Pop That Pussy, Pop the Pussy say Rah! Rock over London, Rock on Heaven... :( |
Diet Pepsi. Uh Huh!

A couple years ago I wanted to see him live, but the only friend I had who could drive me couldn't go because his mom sucks. It pissed me off because it was like a month before his 18th birthday and she treated him like a kid all the way up to the bitter end. He moved out on his 18th birthday.
Fuck I wish I could have gone :( I remembered the rumors about him having a brain tumor not too long ago and had the same thought. |
I saw him live on Easter a couple of years ago. That was my bestest Easter holidat ever. :tear
But seriously, I hate to be the dickhead, but couldn't we see this coming??? When I saw him, he was HUGE. I mean, he was big even by Wesley standards. Do you think the crew that carted him around was concerned about his weight, or do you think they felt it was part of his charm....? |
When I see a morbidly obese person, my first thoughts aren't that leukemia is about to get him.
These are truly sad times. |
I always think it's ironic when overly-religious people die young. But this time it isn't as funny :<

:( Rock OVer LOndon, Rock on Chicago, WHEATIES BREAKFAST FOR CHAMPIONS

Everytime I see a Ford Winstar I start singing his song. I really didn't know this many people knew who he was. Thats rad. He played here at Coo's Cafe and the tickets were 1 dollar. Lets jsut say it was the best dollar ever spent.
-Domo He can't be dead, it musn't be true. He is the best. |
:tear :tear :tear :tear :tear
They should dedicate the 2003 MTV VMAs to Wesley. His music is a hell of a lot better than half of the nominees. |
If anyone lives in the Chicago Area and is interested in going to a wake:

It makes me sad that I probably lived in walking distance from the guy and never got to meet him. |
