Bummer.
It has been confirmed that high energy Memphis garage rocker Jay Reatard died at the young age of 29 years old.
Reatard, (real name Jimmy Lee Lindsay Jr.) seemed to be having a pretty rough go as of late with the firing of his band, a stage attack by fans in Austin, and his tour van getting its tires slashed by punk band The Liquor Store.
In true Jay Reatard form he outwardly vented his anguish and anger by posting comments on the split up of his band and his tour van vandalism with some subtle words for all parties involved.
On the firing of his band:
"Fuck them! They are boring rich kids who can't play for ahit anyways ... Say hello to your ugly and boring wifes opps I mean lifes guys suck it."
On the slashed tire incident:
“Little bitches in Liquor Store just stab [sic] my tires! I will kill you.”
Oh Jay Reatard...you will be missed. I am glad I got to catch a live performance on his last tour through Toronto.
I saw a soon to be dead guy live.
I think it's a first.
