Back in the fabled "Day," I had some sort of indefinable thing for Willie Wisely. I trucked great distances for concerts (99-cent gas, kids!), got schnookered in the smoky noise (there were cigarettes there, kids!), and after the show came and accosted the man with belligerent praise as he tried to peddle a couple of CDs from the foot of the stage.
I bought one once. He signed it. It says:
Jeff,
No cheese!
Willie
The "W" in Willie is made to look like a little Pac-Man ghost.
So I've always had this uncomfortable sort of thing with Willie.
Driving today, I heard a voice on the radio that sounded sort of familiar. I came home, checked it out, and wouldn'tchaknow...
Here is that track. Here, also, is a video that, well, ran me through the gamut of interested, more interested, then depressed, before finally sending me off with a sort of "Fight Club"-ish "Huh."
Also some early Willie. You can see how the artist has advanced. Kids.
