It looks like Jim's parents found the life-extending pharmaceuticals, diet, and other advanced technologies and are keeping alive and healthy.


Here is a site that Sarah recommended for cutting edge music.

Her musical recommendation this week is Mates of State.

Do you guys remember hearing about the fat schizo street poet Wesley Willis? He was infamous around these parts. I found this article on Epitonic.

R.I.P. Wesley Willis - (08/22/03)

We regret to inform you that one of the true American originals of our era, the incomparable Wesley Willis, passed away Thursday, August 21, at the age of 40. The obese schizophrenic street singer had entered the hospital on July 2, where emergency surgery was performed to quell mysterious internal bleeding, thought to be linked to the leukemia Willis was diagnosed with late last year. He had been recovering in an Illinois hospice, but his health was not good. The exact cause of death is unclear, but heart failure is suspected.

The endearing musical primitive had a song about everyone, it seemed, and put out more than 50 albums. Alternative Tentacles has been anthologizing Willis's work and plans to release Wesley Willis Greatest Hits Vol. 3 this fall.

Hopefully the demons that tormented him ever since he was diagnosed with paranoid shizophrenia in 1989 have been quieted. Wesley, we hope you're headbutting God up in heaven right now.


Matt, send those links you were telling me about. Have you talked with Katie lately?
