Love this guy. Tortured people come up with the most beautiful things.

Great cover of a wonderful song.

I'm assuming you just watched the documentary? I remember watching that and being surprised how highly esteemed he was by so many famous musicians when he was (and largely remains) a complete unknown in popular culture.

I had no idea who he was.

Great lyricist

One of my favorites. Not just DJ songs but one of my favorote songs from a lyrics standpoint

 

[Jackonfire]

Great songwriter. I always liked this cover. Its Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers with Johnny Depp on bass.

Good, but nothing special under the sun

That's my turntable and record... I've also got an original piece of his art.

Saw him live a few times back in the day and he did mostly Beatles covers. To Go Home, Grievances, True Love..., and Careless Soul are masterpieces. Just goes to show that you don't need to be a great instrumentalist to be a great songwriter.
