Today truly is a sad day. I learned that on Thursday, "musician" Wesley Willis passed away from leukemia. Willis is famous for such wonderful songs as "Cut the mullet" and "I whupped Batman's ass." While his style was overly simplistic at best, and while his singing voice was more akin to an air conditioner in a rockslide than operatic, his choices for the titles and lyrics of his songs easily won him some space in my musical collection.

"Your mullet is the reason everyone hates you," he would say. Damn straight. Damn straight.
