caliber66 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 cachedSadly, no, but that's the photo I picked for my avatar a little while ago.

Duck-Billed Catechist 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.The site for his most recent album lists Jefferson Macklin as his manager. Macklin appears to work or have worked for Undertow. I would think he or the entertainment lawyer listed on the lawsuit filing would be the official sources. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Just got some serious goosebumps, I picked a song from the show I just downloaded. No title tracks, so I picked a random song, airline to heaven came up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Found this..... http://randomville.com/?p=2893 Here's the story:RIP, Jay Bennett.May 24th, 2009 by Nate Sorry to interrupt our Sasquatch Festival coverage for some sad news, but it appears Jay Bennett (Wilco, Titanic Love Affair) has passed away from complications following surgery. He was 46. The blog The Music’s Over has a post up here. Seems like everyone is just linking to each other right now. I think "complications from surgery" is a new claim though, right?

joshead Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Isnt that the third possible cause of death we've heard? Maybe Im just trying to find some way for this to not be true Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Found this..... http://randomville.com/?p=2893i know Nate personally, any of his info is coming from either SOMB (most likely), Via, or Twitter edit: yeah, SOMB http://soundopinions.org/forum/index.php?s...20&start=20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patrickhayes Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Even with the three day weekend I can't imagine that it will take too long for a reputable news source to confirm this if it's true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Reading his MySpace post about his fears over his upcoming hip replacement surgery is very unsettling now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I hate to say it but this seems to be true. How sad, if so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 i always found it kind of ironic that his last show with Wilco was 7/4/01 in Grant Park, exactly 10 years after the very last Replacements show in Grant Park... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm still holding out hope that it's not true, but that management company page scares me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm still holding out hope that it's not true, but that management company page scares me. agreed. regardless if he was still working with them or not, someone there would have gotten word long before any of us.

poppydawn Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Still don't see anything legit. Can't leave the computer until I know one way or another. Exactly. Undertow's posted his photo on their main page, also with no text. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I hate to say it but this seems to be true. How sad, if so. Yeah, I just went out to dinner with my family and I was really hoping to come back to this thread and find it was all a hoax, but it doesn't look good at all. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I am very sad. Hoping it still might turn out to be a rumor churning around. As noted on the other thread, I did start my thread about ranking the Wilco members before any of this broke. Sorry if it offended and peace be w/ Jay, alive or otherwise.
