The big guy has finally passed on. Wesley was a cool person and his music sends in into hysterics. I'll miss him for sure.

Yeah, It's a shame. I'm glad I got to see him when he was in town with The Country Teasers. Great show. I've never seen so many unsuspecting people walk out of a bar. Some people just don't understand good songwriting, and the merits of repetition. Also, I suspect he was the pioneer that brought synthesizers back into style.

well, back to watching the fire (I�m trapped in Kelowna for the time being)

I never saw him but I always felt he was being exploited. Would anyone agree ? - Mon, 25 Aug 2003 1:40pm

I don't know much about the guy, but I'm curious why people think he was exploited. - Mon, 25 Aug 2003 2:15pm

I love the man's music, but I had to walk out part way through the last show he played here. He was sooooo unstable and visibly unhealthy and the crowd heckling him like some kind of sideshow freak was a bit too much to bear. It's hard to imagine how his career/touring could be handled any differently though. - Tue, 26 Aug 2003 12:21am

Colin: I have no doubt that Jello and everyone else in his management and shit had the best of intentions, but there is a STRONG element of "dance, monkey, dance" in why some people dug him..... - Thu, 28 Aug 2003 4:02am
