    Ill never forget seeing Jay play at Amoeba in Hollywood...he had a ton of snacks and beers on stage and tossed a single brew out in the crowd and I caught it, got the nod of approval and pounded it...the vato behind me totally wanted to kill me cause I made a major leap for that brew.

    I didn't know where to express this feeling so I'm just going to say it here. The single greatest loss in the entire history of modern music. He was brilliant from the word go, quickly became a genius, and never ever stopped creating, evolving, improving and expanding. He was utterly relentless, an energy and drive never seen before or since. The thought of what he could have done in another 10/15/20 years is just frightening. I honestly believe he would have taken the whole world by now.

But that still doesn't mean we can't celebrate his life and not shit up the comment section by saying "he kinda brought it on himself though". Fuck off with your holier than thou attitude.

      Galaxie 500 is pretty underground, Dean and Jay’s guitar playing tho not the same has some similarities in the sense that they seemed to have mastery of the instrument in making noise that no one else could. They were both self-taught and made up for any deficiencies with shear talent and turned them into strengths.

    When I was living in Columbus Ohio , I used to frequent this sleazy bar called Bernies Distillery and Bagels😐
    In the daytime it was homeless drunks and at night..ummmm.
    Different.
    You never knew.
    One night I walked in and 5 black metal bands from Chicago...$5.😐
    I got into the habit of side lining the $5 entrance charge.
    I would be like I don't give a fuck about music...want to slam beers...i can just go next door.
    Worked for awhile.
    One of those nights Jay Reatard.
    Never heard of him.
    But it was so good afterwards I hunted him down and told him so.
    He gave me a card with a # I wish I still had but life happened.
    True story.
