dead Larry 'wild Man' Fischer

Wild Man Fischer isn't doing too well. Was really saddened last night watching the documentary movie, 'Derailroaded' about his life. A paranoid schitzo who's been a legend of outsider music for years, despite averaging well under 1000 record sales a year since 1968. He went into supported living at the end of 2004 but his diet, mental state and general health are more fragile than they should be for a 60 year old.

Who?

 

 

Isn't there a category for unknown musical wannabes?

F**k sake Bruno! He's not unknown, simply an act whose fame - or perhaps infamy - is out of all proportion to his record sales. The ideal beginners guide must be his Wikipedia entry.

 

His music is not for the easily disturbed, if you're unfamiliar I'd suggest a stiff gin ahead of the first listen.
