RIP Jay Reatard

One of the best shows I ever saw was Jay Reatard at the Knockout a few years back, back when the stage was on the lower level. His set lasted all of maybe 18 minutes, but that didn’t bother me because I was busy getting my face melted off.

Jay was always good to the Mission, playing unannounced shows and blowing minds left and right. Sucks that he’s dead.

    One vote for a tribute night at the Knockout with super duper drink specials. I’ll even loan my Lost Sounds records.
