Straight
from the streets of Chicago arose Wesley Willis, the 350 pound paranoid
schizophrenic, whose music makes Beck's "surrealistic" prose seem like
Madonna during her Lucky Star days.
Plagued by "demon
voices," Willis armed with his Casio keyboard began to "whip a
donkey's ass" while "rocking the nation." With themes ranging
from SADDAM HUSSEIN to WHUPPING BATMAN'S ASS, Willis's well of
material seems never ending. In this age of violent, hateful lyrics,
Willis teaches us not to "bust people in the head," and to "keep
your ass out of the metal clink."
Besides
his musical accomplishments Willis is a fine artist in the tradition
of the great German expressionists as seen in this illustration.
Wesley Willis sadly passed on a few years back and music will miss his singular view on our ever eroding culture. Rock on Willis.
