jay was my nephew from my first marriage. showed how to him how to play power chords and gave him instructions on how to build his bedroom studio. had just started being friends with him again after years of no contact while he was out there living his dream. he literally wrote recorded produced managed and promoted himself. say what you want about him but he was the most talented, intelligent,entertaining people i've ever had the pleasure of knowing.
@cachervosplumes i heard that they opened a homicide investigation just because that's standard police procedure when the police find a corpse. HE alot of booze and cocaine in his sytem
None of you were robbed of shit. You can still enjoy Jay Reatard through his music. Whatever you feel "could have been" is irrelevant, because it is what it is. You were touched by his music, but that's the gist of your relationship with Jay. You still have that. Him and his friends and family were robbed.
@darbyHash People have their own ways of dealing with death and wether its someone you know personally or not. We are all connected and sometimes one of us can make such an impact on some people that even in their death it hurts. But no i dont feel robbed, he robbed himself of the rest of his life. But i bet he didnt regret a single fuking thing. My opinion.
you said it best, still he was amazing to see live, and recordings can only give so much. jay was my freind, and his music wil live on. what a shame, much lov to Jay and his kin.
I close my eyes and I slip away. These things seem to happen more then not these days. I'm gettin lost and tossed in this mess of things. I think I'll tremble with a frown and die in your stupid dream. It seems I never have the time to make my mind feel fine. Just looked inside this glassbox lookin out the window for you. It seems I'm never feeling fine.
No one knows tet and please God don't make him out to be the next Bradley Nowell so frat boys can then idolize Jay Reatard cover bands like Badfish. We got fuckin robbed!
That guys name is Reatard?!
