Wow Wesley Willis dead, he was on my friends's label, Cornerstone RAS but I never got to meet him or anything. Strange stroke of luck, if the fiasco band hadn't seen him at some dive and asked him to join their band as their leader they would have never became teh Wesley Willis Fiasco and nobody would have ever known about him, he would have just remained some crazy old homeless guy for the rest of his life. And although they had a strong underground punk following, The Fiasco Band really got out there when they brought on Wesley Willis and people would come running out to see this old crazy guy.

Interesting fact on Karma. Wesley Willis Fiasco used to use as theri logo a WWF symbol. They were sued and ordered to cease and disiss by World wrestling Federation to stop using the WWF logo. One year later World Wrestling Federation was sued and ordered to cease and disiss by the World Wildlife Foundation to stop using the WWF, becaues it turned out their copyright was even older. It's karma I tells ya.
