I mean... would it kill you to actually think before you post?
Really?
This isn't even going into the whole concept of, being Sicilian, I'm descended from the fucking Moors. (They were black, so now James can find me cool).
The one irritating thing about the communal jerk-off the past few days... thread 1) PEOPLE DON'T LIKE BEYONCE KNOWLES BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK, YOU SAY THAT, YOU ARE A RACIST. Thread 2) PEOPLE ONLY LIKED WESLEY WILLIS BECAUSE HE WAS FUCKED IN THE SKULL. I mean... wtf? You can't randomly change your fucking world view for shits and giggles.
But, hey, that'd involve admitting you were WRONG. Why do that when you can all post three consecutive messages at a time (because you're so intelligent, your opinions can't be fitted to just one line!) filled with Ivy League smirking.
It's just fucking stupid, irritating, and wrong. That's what it is.

never heard of him until now but there are obv a lot of uncomfortable issues, and a lot of ppl didn't like his music but I think this is all abt timing.
I am all up for a discussion abt the artist and so on (actually I wouldn't mind if someone whose music i loved just died as its a everyone has got to go etc) but I'd like to ask some of the ppl here what's wrong with some RIP type messages. Anyone who reads this board knows that most threads won't have much for them so what's wrong with adding one more to the pile?

I met Wesley Willis two times thoughout the years in Detroit. First in 1997 when he came into the Kinko's I worked at and made copies of the new songs he had written, and again a couple years later at a record store I worked at when he came into to sell some cd's.
He seemed a little off for obvious reasons but I always wished him well. He had hangers-on who were with him because of what he did rather than who he was. I never knew the guy personally but I always respected the fact that he went out there and did what he wanted to do despite all the difficulties that faced him because he was "fat black and crazy".
He might not have been a Davis/Mills/Dre/Perry, but his music brought joy into my life. He made good records because they sounded like he was having fun when he made them, and in turn you had fun when you listened to them. He had his own personal aesthetic, it might fall into outsider art/art brute/novelty but it was a style that was uniquely his. He entertained people with his rock jam music and that is what he set out to do. No matter what, Rock And Roll McDonald's is fucking genius.
Some people might have laughed at him, and some people might have cheered him on. It always made me glad to know that despite whatever challenges he faced, he made it happen. He wrote the songs, made the records, and played the tours. Good for him, before he died he probably looked back on his life knowing that he did what he wanted.
If that makes me racist, so be it.

''i mean im saddened that he died, and that his life was considered a cruel joke to so many ppl, im not going to paint the fans on this thread with that brush but blount if you want to go into defending the conceptions about race, obesity, and mental illness, that created the cult of wesley willis, please do''
OK what are those?
'''we found an insane black guy to care about 'rock' and we call him a 'singer-songwriter'!! dont worry though hes not TOO white, he still sings about crazy shit and is stupider than us so we can dehumanize him!!' seriously all the RIPs in this thread make him sound like a fucking household pet or something''
OK what's wrong with some of the RIPs. i mean, how does it make it him like a 'household pet'?
or maybe like nick, you might have been posting while drunk?
we need prohibition back ppl otherwise this board is fucked ;)
