welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. its been a while. im breaking into the blogging habit again in a big way. and by big way i mean in the form of wesley willis, the "daddy of rock n roll." im not sure why it took me so long to find this guy, but his songs are by far the funniest things i have heard in a very long time. i laughed last night til i cried. i was sweating from laughter profusely while listening to "you better find my pistol." he passed away back in 2003, and i am really wishing i had the chance to see him perform live. he was 6-5, and between 300 and 350 pounds, and sat on stage with his casio keyboard.
there is a simple recipe for his songs. two verses, a long instrumental, followed by a final verse, his classic, "rock over london, rock on chicago," then a mini advertisement from everything from blockbuster video to listerine: "blockbuster video: wow, what a difference."
this all sounds weird, but its worth the time. go to his myspace site here:
some of its a bit profane, particularly the ones entitled, "suck a llamas smelly ass" and "the vultures ate my dead ass up."
go to youtube, cause they also have some good wesley live performances. why do we have to lose another musical genius so young? shame.
