About this item
"God gave me this rock career to keep me busy. Back in 1991 I used to hit old people with folding chairs. Suddenly, I moved to the north side of Chicago, Illinois in 1992. It made a rock star out of me at last. I'm the daddy of rock 'n' roll! I'm Wesley Willis, I'm 36 years old. I play music and do art. I have schizophrenia. I have chronic schizophrenia. Roger Lee Carpenter asked me for $600. He told me that if I don't give him $600, he was going to blow my brains out. That's when I started hearing demons. I have three demons: Nervewrecker, Heartbreaker, and Meansucker... I yell, I scream, I holler at people on buses." Filmmaker Daniel Bitton profiles Wesley Willis, a schizophrenic singer-songwriter who has a cult following, from his early life as a survivor of extreme poverty and racism, to his later successful music career.
