Gene Lee continued..

Instead of reporting about the assassination of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Bhutto (R.I.P), I'll keep the coverage coming about Gene Lee aka SEOUL:

GENE LEE in memoriam

Gene had been suffering with drug abuse, bipolar disorder for some time, and we believe him to be in a much better place now. He was truly troubled, and intelligent, and beautiful soul who had a hard time feeling he was not being recognized for who he was- a true artist. In the letter he left for his family he wanted to remembered for his music, his dance, and his expressions of joy, that masked the painful demons that plagued him for the ten years after he dropped out of medical school.We have honored his request to post his music, and will be maintaining this site as a memorial. Eugene recorded close to 100 songs in the time after he left medical school, and it was his wish to post these songs free of charge for those who knew him. This was his gift to the world, and his hope that his spirit would live on through his recordings- which he called his sketches. Any correspondence should be made to SEOUL or r.i.p. gene lee God bless, Lee Family

R.I.P.

Another Chicago celebrity died? I don't believe it. Gene aka "Seoul" supposedly passed away in New York sometime before Christmas. We've all experienced this legend..mostly on Milwaukee Ave where you could find him dancing while wearing various jumpsuits or spandex. I even ate dinner with him once, no lie..(where's Cesario?). I've heard various stories having to do with him traveling to Chicago after doing too much acid..and that his parents are super rich, etc etc. But really, if anyone can confirm this, that would be awesome. Dead or not though, this superstar (and his good body, I ain't lyin') deserve some recognition..and a post. Viva la Seoul!
