Rock over London! Rock on Chicago!

So, just to see what I would get I typed Wesley Willis into the little search for keywords thing on the hookup page. To my great suprise actual people had heard of my personal favorite 300-350 pound homeless keyboardist. What's more, not only people but a SG knows about him! Eve is apperingtly a fan of Willis. Never would have guessed. Great tunes, however.

it sucks, he now has cancer. don't remember which for of cancer it is though. they said it's curable which is a good thing. why does a guy like him have to go through so much.

Yeah, we all dig the Willster and often many speak in Willisvoices for the sheer thrill of it all.

There's been a Wesley thread (or two) already. There, you'll find many adoring fans no doubt.

i started one of those threads:

heinz, it's america's favorite ketchup.

He has lukemia. And from what I hear he's whupping it's ass.

Goose Island: It's Chicago's crab brewer.

i hear he whupped batmans ass too

Batman got on my nerves, he was a fucking asshole in the fist place.......
so good

I like "he's doing time in jail' too.

get on the bus

true, but birdman kicked his ass.

i'm all about the wesley willis.

He reminds me of college days..sigh.

I saw him in a dive bar and he played like 4 songs got up and said..
" This metal chair is hurting my ass."
and walked off.

He was so big behind that little keyboard. It was cool.

I forgot about that...he head butted me too...it kind of hurt but I was drunk and it was sort of funny...I think I have a pic here somewhere...

My roomate was telling me that his band might open for wesley willis in Buffalo this summer. Funny guy.

he's not that obscure. plenty of people know about him

i have been fortunate enough to feel his head butt...in a friendly way...

cut the mullet, cut the mullet, cut the mullet, cut the mullet

Get the rat's nest off your head
Get that crazy-ass mullet off your skull
Take your ass to the barber shop
Tell the barber you're sick of looking like an asshole

i met wesley willis a few years ago and got a head butt from him... it was like meeting a saint.. top 5 wesley willis albums you must own.. best of volume1 and 2. Steel klink alcatraz, spooked out disharmonius torture hellride, and fabian road warrior.

I have a promo tape of Fabian Road Warrior. Ilike "Tripping Daisy" and "Silverchair" and I thinkit's cuz of the way he pronounces the names. He says "servercherr" for Silverchair, and...I can't really recreate the way he says "Tripping Daisy". You just have to hear it.
I also have a soft spot in my heart for Tripping Daisy since I saw them years ago on 120 Minutes and they seemed really HAPPY to be on there. Most bands went on like "We are laidback, MTV is evil, so we're gonna act bored." Tripping Daisy just acted ELATED, sorta queeny and campy and like they were really, really high. Maybe they were.
back to Wesley, I love how everything good is "whipping a horse's ass with a belt". For a while I used that phrase a lot in his honor; I need to revive it in my everyday speech.

ROCK AND ROLL MCDONALDS!!!

....wheaties, thebreakfastofchampions....

saw him outside the middle east one day while i was on the way to tt's and he was headbutting fans. thats his thing. only jello biafra would sign a freak like that.... i guess he can afford treatment for his schitzophrenia now, so i guess he's more normal now than he used to be...
