Anyone else ever heard of this guy? Homeless 6 foot 5 350 lb black Chicago schizophrenic records his rants of the demons talking to him set to the background of a Casio keyboard's pre-arranged rhythmn. The guy can't sing for crap, the music is crap, yet I find it strangely compelling.

"I whupped Batman's Ass"
"Alanis Morisette"
"I whupped Superman's ass"
"Birdman kicked my ass"
"Shoot me in the ass"
"Cut the mullet"
"I murdered your family"
"I'm sorry that I got fat"
"Kill whitey"
"Kris Kringle was a car theif"
"Rock and roll McDonalds"
"They threw me out of church"
A lot of the song's names would be pointless trying to post here, after swear filter they'd end up as "I wanna #$@!@ your $#^" and the like.

Saw a documentary on him a while ago.
He's a crazy mo-fo.
Alanis Morrisette has got to be his "hit" song.:D

I have his Greatest Hits album which interestingly features many of the songs on the album that you mentioned Naked Dead Guy.
Yup he is a freak.
On the album I have are also the songs Vampire Bat and Urge Overkill.
I think Alannis Morrisette is the song played on Rage the most, but I've heard Rock and Roll McDonalds on community radio quite regularly over the last seven years.

This is weird. I have only just heard of WW about a month ago. Strange eh? It is strangely compelling.
You forgot "Chronic Schizophrenia" - sounds like all the rest, but hey!

to me, his twisted style seemed like genius, if only for a short time.
