Anyone else's jaw drop around 0:49:00 when you see all the cash he has? What a champ, doing what he loves and spreading the joy of music. Rock and Roll will never die, scream dracula scream!

I met him at Delilah's. Of course he tried to sell me his CD and my dumbass didnt buy it. People throw "one of a kind" around but Wesley Willis was truly one of a kind.
