this dude is fucking funny as hell to listen to. this guy is a schophrenia. the song you should listen to is " the bird man kicked my ass." it's fucking funny as hell.

WW rocks over london. It makes me sad to learn that you are a fan.

oh, he's one of those people-who-want-to-sing-but-cant-because-they-suck-so-they-try-it-with-comedy-instead kinda of guys?

if i'm going to listen to that crap, better make it Triumph the insult dog. he's decent.

Actually Wesley is a very special person. He's literally schizophrenic (not a schophrenia as Shy stated) amoung a host of other mental illnesses. He plays a cheap Casio keyboard and sings a little 3 line song along with it, and it really is comedy gold. Some snippets of lyrics are:

"THE VULTURES THE VULTURES
THE VULTURES ATE MY DEAD ASS UP"
-The Vultures Ate my Dead Ass Up

"ROCK N ROLL MCDONALDS
ROCK N ROLL MCDONALDS
ROCK N ROLL MCDONALDS
ROCK N ROLL MCDONALDS"
-Rock n Roll McDonalds

A friend of mine actually stumbled into one of his concerts while visiting Chicago, apparently its pretty fuckin strange. Wesley has a huge cult following, and has cut several records. He died a few months ago, and its really a shame.

from the looks of it, i'd say it had more to do with mental retardation then schizophrenia

His voices inspire his music, though.

riiiiiiiiiight

You don't understand. He's not just a moron retard up on stage that everyone laughs at. He's got the heart and soul of an artist, with a fucked up mental condition. On his website are some paintings of the Chicago Cityscape that he made... he really is an amazing person with a tragic condition.

I say "is" when I should be saying "was".

you're right. i don't understand. perhaps it's because i've never seen or heard of him....

"Suck a Cheetah's Dick" is his best song by far.

He can record an entire album in under 8 hours. He's pure genius.

what?! when did this happen? and how?

I think it was (antihero) that first got me to listen to Wesley Willis. I heard that song I Wupped Batman's Ass and Fuck You (Diet Pepsi). He died?!

Yep, just a few months ago. Heart attack I believe.

Oh my god. I wonder if he made Entertainment Weekly's list of pop culture legacy's in 2003.

goddamn that's a bloody shame. all the interesting acts die before they can "make it big."

umm, wesley would have never made it big. i saw him in phoenix one time and he had a big jug of milk. some guy stole it and wesley went fuking nuts, they had to go buy him more milk at a convenience store so he'd keep doing the show. he did a cover of girls on film. it's the greatest cover ever. i had no idea he painted. I'll definately have to check that out. i had no idea he died either. that's kinda crazy. you can't get a more genuine artist.

If you ever find his interview with Howard Stern on mp3... check it out. Its hilarious.

everything he did was so mind boggling. i wish i had a schizo bum friend i could give a casio to. i could just imagine the discussion he had with mr. stern.

A long story short it's a shame and even though yopu do not like his work or if you love it ... it's a shame to see an atrist go
