jmacomber68w Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Nothing pops up on Google.......Haven't seen anything on any music news sites either......Maybe mistaken identity based on that NYT obit. Nothing..... http://www.mtv.com/news/ http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/index.jsp Man I hope your right. I hope none of this is true, this entire scenario reminds me of last summer, when everyone in town thought my friend's father died. Hopefully we have a similar situation, although my hopes are not high Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 It doesn't reflect well on a legitimate news site to publish a death rumor, so until there's some official word from someone related to/friends with Jay, I wouldn't expect to see it on any of those sites.

jc4prez Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I think the management site's changes could say a lot. And again, I doubt that any music news site is going to publish this story now. It's a holiday weekend. And it's a very young rumor/development. Sadly, I think you're right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thisyearsgirl Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 The homepage for his management company has posted a picture of him today but with no text. I'm hoping for the best but I'm fearing the worst. This is the thing that makes me the most concerned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm feeling like it's a case of no one knowing who should say it publicly first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 This is the thing that makes me the most concerned.Ditto. It seems strange for them to just post that picture out of the blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm feeling like it's a case of no one knowing who should say it publicly first. I just REALLY hope that if anyone knows Jay personally, they do not find out through this board. Nothing against this board, but finding out such horrible news on a message board is nothing Id want to imagine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Damn. I've went from concern, to being pissed (at a possible hoax), and now just a deep sadness - all in about 90 minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H.Stone Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Another post on FB: Champaign-Urbana is celebrating the music of the TLA, et al era this weekend with a reunion and all of his former TLA band mates - as well as LeRoy Bach and other close friends - met this afternoon at my house for a BBQ-turned-wake for our friend. Ed Burch phoned from Austin as well as Jonathan Pines (who apparently had been working with Jay finishing up a number of recordings of late). It is a very sad day in C-U.

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 If official word gets out soon, I am grabbing my copy of Summerteeth, and driving around blasting the hell out of it. And I totally agree with it being awful if a friend finds out via this board. Sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if it happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope everyone joining this thread keeps that in mind when posting their comments. This is taking me straight back to reading about Natalie here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, sorta, i just downloaded this... http://wilcoarchive.com/wilco%2020000730%20SBD/ I only have 1 live set of Jay doing his thing, I figured now is the most appropriate time to listen to some vintage Wilco Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I hate to say this, and I mean no offense, but, if true, this must be an odd situation for Jeff. Obviously it's a sad story, but that lawsuit is still out there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 i don't suppose anyone happens to have a higher resolution version of this photo of Jay? http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:Sc16Mf...ett1_medium.jpg the original site that the 800px version was on no longer exists and it's not cached Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 The homepage for his management company has posted a picture of him today but with no text. I'm hoping for the best but I'm fearing the worst.from what i gather, Jay wasn't with Undertow anymore. he didn't elaborate but told me they had a sort of falling out. could be Undertow is reading our messages here/ following the twitters and decided to post that pic? im really hoping this is just a hoax.

He's still listed in their artist roster, but I guess it's a possibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I think, if Jay was off of that label, them posting that picture is even stranger, unless this is all true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thisyearsgirl Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I would like to know the truth, but I think I have to stop following the "clues"...I'm feeling really sick right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
