I had the pleasure of hosting Wesley Willis(RIP 1963-2003) a few times on his tours. You might even heard or read me tell the story that every time he managed to break my toilet seats but despite that he was a totally sweet human being. He had his moments being a diagnosed schizophrenic and all and it was quite the chore for any band to bring him out. One of those bands was a Chicago band called Today’s My Super Space Out Day. Sort of a short emo band name by today’s standards but actually a really powerful rock trio. Anyway, below is a jam recorded in my living room in Red Bank, NJ one morning after a rock show. Rock Over London Rock over New Jersey. Now give me a head-butt. Miss you Wesley.
“Ziggy killed the band” by Wesley Willis w/Rick Nitz on Acoustic Guitar from TMSSOD.
“Henry Rollins” by Wesley from SMD Promotions CD (autographed)
I’d like to listen to these two pieces (Especially the one on Ziggy), but the links aren’t working. 🙁
