I myself am not sure how it felt when Elvis died, or when JFK was ripped from their hearts, or when the plane went down that took out Ritchie Valens, or when Lennon was stolen from pop culture, but I now can imagine. I experienced the loss of many, Kurt Cobain, Micheal Hutchence, Brad Nowell, River Phoenix, George Harrison, Gregory Hines, Tony Scott, Herb Brooks, Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopez, JFK Jr., Aaliyah, Trevor Goddard, Kevin “Dino” Conner, Preston Buchanan, James Tillotson Whitehead, but none have hit me as hard as today.

Today I learned a revolutionary force in the musical world is gone. Working with such amazing talents as Rick Rubin and Jello Biafra, and recording somewhere near 50 albums, no one has shown us such amazing will power as Wesley Willis. I will simply say I miss him, and Chicago is at a loss without him. True performers are always taken early because they give so much to this world, and sadly all we have left today are those gifts.
