Some information:
"If there's one secret I can share with y'all, it's CHECK OUT WESLEY WILLIS!
In a music world full of derivative boy bands, teen queens, and rock stars too busy suing Napster to release anything of quality, it's refreshing to see an artist like Wesley Willis who is simply like nobody else you've ever heard in your life. A look at the picture above will show you he's like nobody you've ever seen, as well.
If the Messiah is a homeless schizophrenic 350 pound black man that sings about everything from sucking a horse's ass to going to eating too much food at McDonald's, then Wesley Willis is surely The Second Coming.
At first listen, Willis is a headshakingly awful musical experience. Crappy synthesizer accompanies his rants from another dimension with that's below the quality of your average Nintendo game. But there's an honesty to his madness that makes him one of the more fun guys to listen to in an awful long time.
Willis was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1989 and instead of laying in a gutter and peeing on himself, he chose instead to share his inner demons with the world in a musical form.
With over 400 recorded songs to date, you'd think he was a prolific master along the lines of Bob Dylan, but when you discover that the average time it takes to record one of his albums is less than 5 hours, it's clear that there's little thought at all put into his work. It's just the voices in his head taking over and talking for him.
Nearly all of his songs follow a pretty basic formula. Usually under 3 minutes, they start with him ranting about a celebrity, committing some offensive act, or his past, repeating the same phrase with ear numbing frequency, then ending the song with some inspired commercial phrase like, "Wheaties...Breakfast of Champions."
