Epitwittertaphs

Hopefully there won't be many of these this year, but I've taken it upon myself to post the final Tweet a musician will make on their official Twitter page prior to their leaving this fair Earth. It's what will be dubbed affectionately as an Epitwittertaph.

The first of these belongs to the late Jay Reatard, a rock musician who released 22 albums over a brief 29 years alive but had a knack for being a shit disturber. Just one search on Youtube (Jay Reatard Toronto) will show the musician punching a fan in the mouth and storming off before the promoters opine their feelings towards Mr. Reatard, who passed away in his sleep on the morning of Jan. 13.

Hence, this is Jay Reatard's Epitwittertaph:

"I will give anyone a hundred bucks per tire that they pop on the band liquor stores van! Yes I'm serious" -- 12:42 PM Jan 11th from Twitterberry

A profound Epitwittertaph indeed.
