Goodnight Jimmy Lee

It's a sad day friends. Jay Reatard passed away in his sleep last night. His real name was Jimmy Lee Lyndsey Jr and he was an amazing musician from Memphis that I really admired and respected. He was only 29. I spent today writing and recording this for him. I feel a little better. Rest in peace reatard.

Goodnight Jimmy Lee



Goodnight Jimmy Lee

first time heard you felt like I heard me. My Mom called said im in the magazines
thinking how the hell did he beat me. now he’s gone and I’m no Jimmy Lee

Goodnight Jimmy Lee

met you twice you kind of seemed mean. but I’d punch dudes who mess with my machines
stayed up all night the night that you dreamed.
I’m not missing Hammer but I know now what you mean

Goodnight Jimmy Lee

I love fucked up chords and melodies. Phoned in drumming helps my self esteem
hope they’re rioting in Tennessee. Set this sweaty bloody reatard free
