Wesley Willis citations

Wesley Lawrence Willis est un musicien et un artiste visuel originaire de Chicago.

Diagnostiqué d'une schizophrénie chronique en 1989, il enregistre ses premières chansons en 1992, marquant le point de départ d'une œuvre qui recouvrira un large domaine artistique, musical, avec au moins 50 albums enregistrés , mais aussi dans le dessin, avec un recours exclusif aux stylos à encre pour représenter, la plupart du temps, des paysages urbains.

Ses créations atypiques et sa personnalité fantasque lui ont valu une forte notoriété dans les années 1990 et jusqu'à sa mort, en été 2003, des suites d'une hémorragie interne, alors qu'une leucémie myéloïde chronique lui avait été diagnostiquée fin 2002. Wikipedia

Wesley Willis: Citations en anglais

“Here's what I'm going to have to say to all of you. If some of you have demons in your head who talk to you in profanity or whatever, don't let your demon shoot down your rock music, don't let your demon keep you off the joy bus. So like I say, Rock music pays off.”
