i play a gig tonight. I'll play "finish" this evening and I'll try not to cry... send all my love to friends and families. kisses cantharide "langue de crotale" boy
A year lost. Could have been so different. Life is cruel. Always loved Wiz's voice and songwriting. Superb songs. Saw MC4 play at the Astoria 92. Great night. Favourite of all time is Sebastopol Rd, like a lot of people. Stood next to the boys at a Redd Kross gig at the Powerhaus years back. We felt like we were hanging with the dudes. Very cool band. Love the music always. Thinking of you.
This time last year I was watching you with Ipanema in Portsmouth - you totally rocked. I'm so thankful that I got to see you that day. You'll be forever in my thoughts. D
I recorded this song at home on last monday with a lot of strange sensations... everybody who loved "WIZ" and his music can understand that.
I don't wanna be sad and if younger people in my area, especially the so-called punkrockers can discover this fantastic band, even only one , then I will be happy.
I changed the key, the original was too high for me, I didn't try to play blasting guitars, Idid it as it comes in my hands and in my throat and with all my heart.
I hope you will enjoy this version, just tell me , I don't need more.
love to wiz families and friends and of course to mc4 and ipanema

I don't know where I've been for the last 10 years, but I only found out a couple of days ago, and I was speechless. Even though I had not seen him for about 12 years, I missed the hugs and smiles everytime I saw him, and still miss them now. His words meant so much to the teenage drop out I was, and they still move me now. It always hurts to loose a friend, no matter how distant. I hope you are happy and at peace... Josh xxx

Wiz. Between the years of 1988 and 1995 you made my world so much better. You and the rest of MC4 and all the people i met along the way. Good times with great people. And now you're doing it again, even though you're not here. It's a shitty world and i so wish we could've done it with you here. I've had 3 of the best weekends ever over the last couple of months (despite the sadness) and i've hooked up with with some of the best people i've ever known, both old and new, and i feel a sincere debt of gratitude to you. Hopefully these are friendships for life. You really are a fucking legend. I hope you realised it. I only dream of dreaming just like you...
Finally i could see Ipanema when they played last year in Alicante, Spain. Unfortunately I never could see MC4. one of my favourite bands. But it was really cool to talk with Wiz for some minutes that day. Last summer, I was planning to tour with my band in the UK and I asked Wiz about the posibilty he could help us to manage some show there. He told me he would try to help us and he offered us his home to stay and to cook some veggie food...and he only had talked with me some minutes some years ago. Unfortunately we couldn´t do the tour. Unfortunately I couldn´t cook some food in Wiz´s home. Unfortunately Wiz´s gone... but i think i was lucky to share that little time talking with him that night.
