Remembering Jay Bennett




Jay Bennett died over the weekend in his sleep at the age of 45. It's sad news. Not just because he was an extremely talented musician and member of Wilco during their most inventive years, but because he was only 45. His recent MySpace journal entries spoke of upcoming hip surgery to repair a painful injury he sustained years earlier when he jumped off a stage. His tone was upbeat. He had a new album in the works. Things were looking good.

So many nice things have been said about Jay over the last couple of days. Shame he couldn't have heard them himself. A lot of interesting clips have surfaced that really show his talent. Here are a few.
