Wesley Willis was the fucking man. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, he still managed to churn out over 20 albums and 1000 songs in less than 10 years before his untimely death in 2003. He even sold his own artwork of the city of Chicago that he drew from memory. But most notably he was a big man who just wanted to play some rock and roll. Did almost all of his songs have the same programmed Casio keyboard rhythm? Fuck yes. Did most of his songs share almost the exact same lyrics save for a few name changes and word rearrangements? Fuck yes. Was he a 350lbs 6'5 man who enjoyed headbutting people as a means of connecting with them? Fuck yes. And yet he's still better than that cunt Katy Perry.
She's god awful. "Oh, but she's so edgy cause she says unlady-like things in her songs. She's taken control of her sexuality and isn't afraid of what other people think." My. Ass. Yeah she's really breaking the mold singing a song about kissing a girl. Oh wait, that was already done back in the mid 90's when Jill Sobule sang a song called I kissed a girl. And don't give me this shit that Katy Perry's creative at all. She didn't even write her big hit single I kissed a girl. Nope, it was the producers of Katy's album that get the credit for that. So...if she doesn't write her own lyrics, and clearly doesn't play any of the music (I shouldn't have to explain that strumming a few chords on a guitar is not the same as actually writing music), what is she? Well here's a glimpse:
Ooooooh. I see. She's a product of a record company marketing sexuality. So, in reality she's no different than Britney Spears, Madonna, or hell even the Backstreet Boys. The only difference I see is that she's Pop-y enough to win the hearts of teenie bopper girls, but she's embracing that retro, 1920's, hipster, black hair look which is sure to win over...you guessed it, scene girls. I'll give her this, at least she's more attractive than Amy Whinehouse.
Fuck I hate Katy Perry. I could go on for days about her and her dipshit fans who thinks she's a strong innovative woman. But right now we need to get back and bare witness to the bad assitry of Wesley.
You see, what made Wesley Willis great was not a gimmick. It wasn't that he was a big black mentally challenged man making music. What made him bad ass is that he was the epitome of what music should be. An expression of one's self without compromise, and only for one's self gratification. That and the fact that his lyrics were fucking awesome.
Wesley Willis was even in a punk band for a short period of time, The Wesley Willis Fiasco, before just doing his extensive solo work.
Wesley Willis was a rockin roller, he got down like a magickist, the crowd would roar like a lion in a cage, his jam session would whup a buffalo's ass with a belt, and he will be missed. And if any of you feel that he was exploited, do me a favor and go
Suck a llama's shitty asshole!
Suck a panda bear's spermy nutsack!
Suck a sloth bear's bootyhole!
Suck a greyhound's musty ass, mothafucka!
Rock over London. Rock on Chicago. Wheaties, The Breakfast of Champions.
