I can't even begin to express my grief about the passing of garage-punk rocker: Jay Reatard(or by his birth name, Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr.) I saw him last month and, as I wrote in one of my more recent blog entries, he was phenomenal in concert. I got there early and got talk with him briefly, one on one; I got his autograph and shook his hand. Now he's gone. What a complete shock.
They say he died in his sleep and I hope his passing was painless. He brought so much energy and originality to his recordings and his performances. I'll always remember this cool, quirky rocker and listen to his music.
