Jay Bennett was famously ejected from Wilco shortly after the completion of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The events of that recording were filmed in I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, which remains one of the finist musical documentaries ever filmed.
Jay was also an immensely talented musician. His last solo albo was released on 'Rock Proper":http://www.rockproper.com/ as a free download. It was deeply personal, and quite wonderful to listen too. I was hoping for a solo tour.
It seems that won't happen. Jay passed away in his sleep on the weekend.

Say it ain't so. Just say it ain't so.

July 22, 2008 at 2:29 PM EDTLOS ANGELES -- Estelle Getty, the diminutive actress who spent 40 years struggling for success before landing a role of a lifetime in 1985 as the sarcastic octogenarian Sophia on TV's The Golden Girls, has died. She was 84.
Luc Bourdon had been riding for 10 days before this accident. Lack of rider training is the number one cause of motorcycle accidents.
Schneider wasn't surprised Bourdon would ride a motorcycle.
"Something like this, buying a motorcycle, just fits right into his persona. Always fearless and doing whatever he felt would give him that rush or make him excited."
I told someone awhile ago that I'd never get on the back of a bike with anyone who thought that riding motorcycles was cool. Kids who are looking for "a rush" are the ones who wind up dead.
