I love Wesley! Fell into his music trap a few years ago. Love his "music"!

"Wesley Willis is 6 foot 5, weighs between 300 and 350 pounds, and likes to greet people with a headbutt. Shortly after he made his first album, he was diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia, and he now claims to have "schizophrenia demons" in his head that take him off of his "harmony joy rides" to put him on "torture hell rides"."

Was sad when he died last year though.

The greatest hits vol. 3 CD is great! It's got an enhanced CD-ROM with videos and fliers and all kinds of shit. It's got a video of him going into Taco John's corporate office and telling the receptionist that he's a rock star. It's definitely a recommended purchase.

Any relation?

Unfortunately, I'm not related to him in any way.

I went bowling with him the first(and possibly only) time he ever bowled in his life. Well I wasn't on the same lane with him but we all went to a 24 hour bowling alley after a show with him. His manager bought him one of those bowling balls that's clear with a skull inside.

We have a CD player in the office at work. I've been listening to his albums non-stop for about 2 weeks. A couple of people that I work with have heard of him, but it's always funny to play his music when someone who's never heard of him is in the office. I always get comments like "I can't take much more of this music" and stuff like that. The other day, I had "Suck my Dog's Dick" playing when the armored car courier came in. The look on his face was priceless.

Brandon,

Far be it from me to tell you what you shoudl or should not listen to, but for your employer's sake, and quite possibly your own.. you may want to think about what you play in an office environment these days.

Really, with song titles like the one you named, you should seriously reconsider your listening preferences at work or the puzzled look on your own face while being named in a lawsuit will be 'priceless'.

We all have to face it, while we don't like it, the whole practice of being "PC" has taken an all new meaning in today's world. [Frown]

I'm going to try and find some of this cat's work online today...

It was usually because of music choices like that that made music against the rules in many projection booths.

personally.. I liked listening to Oldies.. or 80s hair bands.. nothing like building a print up while Poison belted out "your mama dont dance"

Like I said, a couple of people that I work with have heard his music, but if anyone objects to it, I turn it off right away. We do this with any music we play in the office. The guy who said he couldn't take much more of it was entirely in a humorous tone.
