Wesley Willis Is One Of The Greatest!

Wesley Willis is truly one of the greatest creators ever!

When I first heard his music, I was laughing with a lot of my love in my heart for this true original. A man who came from the homeless streets of Chicago, dealing with a grand case of schizophrenia and music helped solve his problem and changed his life.

The first time I saw him play it was at Emo's in Austin Texas. He rocked the house and played for an hour and a half. During the show I saw this man rock, attack his schizophrenia with visious songs, telling the schizophrenia to suck a cheetah's dick. It was truly beautiful.

One Wesley's art pieces. His art was loved by many.

I later got to meet him and ask for his permission to use his voice in a couple of house tracks I was producing with my partner at the time Andy Hay. Andy had worked with Wesley a couple years back. He recorded to albums with Wesley for a big record label. They never released the albums, but Andy still had the tapes. When we asked Wesley if we could use his voice, he replied, "how much you gonna pay me, a thousand?" We chuckled and chatted with him for a bit. He seemed to remember Andy a bit, and by the end of the conversation, he agreed to let us use his voice with the promise to pay him if the tunes ever got released and made any bucks.

Not to long after this meet, Wesley passed away and left earth. And for me, the world will never be the same with out Wesley!

The musicmight not be for everybody, and for some you will laugh for ass off. and some might here the fight and beautiful struggle Wesley had turned his life into!
