R.I.P Jay Bennet

For those not familiar with the name, he's a musician. He was a member of Wilco, back when Wilco was the best band in America. He left the band in 2001, just before Yankee Hotel Foxtrot came out. With the last two Wilco records (Sky Blue Sky and Wilco (The Album)), it's become pretty apparent that Bennett was the driving force behind the band. Things have not gone well for him recently (just a month ago he sued Jeff Tweedy for royalties owed to him), but still, the dude was a musical genius and he deserves to have a bit more renown that he has.
