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
