Wesley Willis fans check in!
What's your favorite song? I know they all sound the same, but my personal favorite is "Rock n Roll McDonalds."

Rock over London,
Rock over Chicago,
Allstate...you're in good hands!

1. I had the chance to see him live
a couple of years ago, but I flaked out.

Isn't he dead now?

2. My students love "Rock and Roll McDonalds"!
From Kindergarten all the way to 8th grade...they all sing along. It's a beautiful thing.

I never did get to see him live, but I have a recording of a show he did on September 10, 2001 (oooooooooohhhhh...). Good stuff.

5. Is that on CD, or MP3?

4. Hell yeah!
Found out about him from a mixtape buddy -- my favourite tunes are Bill Clinton and They Threw Me Out of Church.

RIP.
