If you don't know what is wrong with me

Re: Jay Bennett R.I.P
This is extremely sad. Although Jay hasn't been a part of Wilco since Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, he was a pivotal part of the transition that took place between Being There, Summerteeth and that album. I doubt very much Wilco would have ever found their more cutting-edge sound without him.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

I felt sorry for him seeing I Am Trying To Break Your Heart as I've known some characters that he reminded me of - people who have an abundance of enthusiasm that you can benefit from, who may help snap you out of your usual ways of thinking, but so much that it sometimes gets on your tits, and it looked like that's what happened with him in Wilco.
