Description
Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys took me and my friends Melanie and Denise to John Stulgateβs print shop in Tucson, AZ to look at John's collection of original Wesley Willis drawings of (mostly) busses. John knew Wesley in Chicago and has been immortalized in one of Wesley's songs.I still have the Wesley Willis shirt John Stulgate gave me that day!
I met Wesley Willis before he passed away and he even headbutted me! Sadly no pics

Oh yeah, I heard he even put ads on the buses and billboards in the cityscapes, right?

Yes he did. He remembered the bus numbers and license plate numbers for every bus he saw.

Wow! How was he able to remember all that?

I meet Jello Biafra 6 years ago in portland oregon, I was so awestruck when I meet him that I think I spooked him out being a fan of his. Wesley Willis's work is amazing, the guy deserves more credit.

Hells yeah! Wesley was inspiring. I am honored to have met and hung out with both and to have shared in their musical adventures for so many years. Rock over London, rock on Chicago. Pontiac, we build excitement!
