Quick take

“Mr. Lindsey’s productivity was a source of as much admiration as curiosity in the music press, and he was often asked to explain his compulsion to create so much music so quickly.  ’I'm just trying to get the idea out before the inspiration is gone,’ he said.  ’Everything I do is motivated by the fear of running out of time.’”  From The New York Times obituary (January 15, 2010) of Jimmy Lee Lindsey, 29, a “creative tornado” known as Jay Reatard in the punk/garage rock music world.
