So, I leave town for a hot second only to come home to some unsettling music news. Jay Reatard, a musician who was no stranger to QuickCrit love, is no longer with us. He deserves a little e-tribute, eh? Rock on from the great beyond, man.
According to Memphsis' Commerical Appeal, Jay died of cocaine and alcohol. I guess that really isn't a huge surprise, but I liked the story better when the police were investigating murder.
So sad.
ReplyDeleteBut what REALLY happened? I want answers!
ReplyDeleteSeriously. I am surprised I haven't seen anything more on his death since it was first announced.
ReplyDeleteIf I find out the cause of death, I'll update it, but nothing's really been written about it... odd.
ReplyDeleteHere are some nice moments related by friends.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I like this piece best.

ReplyDeleteYou "liked"... interesting choice of words.
ReplyDeleteYeah, poor word choice.
