R.I.P. Jay Reatard, 29
January 13, 2010
Sad news today, at around 3:30am, Jay Reatard, 29 passed away in his sleep at his home in Memphis. Here are some photos I took of him in the green room at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York 7 weeks ago. He had just opened up for The Pixies. Later that evening, at Alix’s apartment, we ate meatballs and looked at photos from their youth. I remember being absolutely certain that I was taking pictures of someone so great, and so accomplished, and being so inspired. What an enormous loss for the music community.
