Doug C Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have been quietly reading the updates on this thread and trying to fight off impending sadness. Now I am sad. We await the details. A true talent gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

echo Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 stunned and truly saddened. he was a big part of three of the best records ever recorded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Its back on the Wikipedia page.Yea, but no more than what we already gathered. That being said, this seems official. Sad day. It's a real shame that him and Wilco were at about as bad of a place as they could have been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dontknownuthin Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 So sad. Rest in Peace Jay. Your talents will be missed. Thanks for all the good times... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVVJux_dnps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 This sucks. My thoughts are with all of Jay's family, friends, and fans. My heart goes out to you.Wilco was a significant help for me when dealing with my brother's death three years ago. I am eternally grateful for the music Jay made.

ShuckOwens Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 This is devastating. Aside from being a phenomonal talent, and being such a large part of the greatest music in decades, he seemed like a very humble guy who kept a keen sense of humor through the pain. Jay will be sadly missed, and my thoughts are with his family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockinrob Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 RIP Jay. Remember musicians dont really die though. Everytime someone discovers the masterpieces that are yankee hotel foxtrot and summerteeth, jay bennett will be alive. It just sucks that he couldnt make it through this rough patch hes been in.
