This video about Wesley Willis initially I thought was a comic spoof, or a video who's massage had been reformed through the directors point of view. The more info I uncovered I realized that Wesley Willis has been performing music since the mid-70's, he was diagnosed with Schitzopharnia during the early-80's. His fans whom felt such a connection to him and his music remained to fallow him, and with support from his manager, label, and social worker he has remained on tour and maintained a living. Other documentaries that came up with this search about Willis were more based on audience reactions, these docs seemed to be more objective, but though for as much mysticism that surrounds him, his fans respect his unique songs and head bumps (Willis greeting). This film did a good job of painting the picture of how Willis interests play a role in his song writing, and even his process in studio.
