I woke up this morning to some of the saddest news. Ex-Wilco band member, Jay Bennett, died in his sleep yesterday. He was 45. He's became a member of Wilco in 1996 during the recording of Being There and was infamously kicked out of the band by the end of recording of the much acclaimed Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album and the middle of the 2002 documentary I Am Trying to Break Your Heart. Earlier this month, Jay filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Jeff Tweedy. He claimed that he wasn't paid all of the royalties from the fore mentioned documentary. My condolences goes out to his family and friends.
