He created an undeniably classic album that contained so much pain transfered to tape in such an explosive way that it made you feel different after hearing it. He was transgressive and honest. His flaws were something he focused on and overdubbed and distorted until they made you forget who he really was - a person with feelings and a good heart. He loved music and worked hard from a young age to pursue it. He was a self-made and unmade man. I am truly sickened to see him go." </p> http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/topic/rip-jay-reatard#post-2164 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 09:41:13 +0000 Tyler Darling 2164@http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/ <p>Yes that's very very sad.

So, so sad. He was way too young and full of life to go. </p>
