Wesley passed-on in August 2003 .
Saw him perform once back in 1995 in L.A. ; nuttier than bat **** and funny as hell !

'03 I was over seas so I missed some "current events". Never met very many people who have ever heard of him, he had a crazy existance...

I truly feel for Wesley , even though he's in a much better place now .
The poor guy suffered with mental illness , and that's a hell that I don't wish upon anyone ; I suffer from psychiatric disease as well ( High-Functioning Autism ) , and it's not fun .

Never-the-less ...
At least Wesley had a sense-of-humour about his condition . This was brought-out via creative channels ; through his funny *** lyrics and playing style .
