Jailbird Jay

i wrote a song for jailbird.

i met him in asheville, nc this summer.

wrote it before i knew he died...

he never got to hear it, but i figured it would mean a lot to the people who loved him.

Nice, a friend literally just posted this song on facebook.

Didn't know the guy, but it seems he is being widely celebrated. The song reenforces that feeling a lot, man.
 
FUCKIN SHITTY NEWS!!damn jaibird was a bad mothafucker....wish i coulda kicked it with him one last time......rest in piece you scurvy cur!!!you will be missed!
 
Damn. I heard this from like three different sets of kids while I was in Cali. The last one told me it was liver failure, but the kid who told me was young as fuck. He didn't even pronounce Jailbird's name right. Jailbird still owed me a two-step from Mike Batters birthday party the year before last. Fuck. Looks like I'll have to clean my own puke off the sidewalk next to the Mellow Mushroom.
 
I met him in nola at the pink squat after spending 80 days in opp. Needless to say we got wasted. He was really drunk and really upset that a. Couple of oogles called him an oogle. Hahevery time he saw someone wearing a black rag he'd be like" do you ride choo choos!?" Had fun kickin it in nola. Rip jailbird
