'BRIAN WILSON OF HIS GENERATION,' JAY BENNETT MOURNED

URBANA – Neil Young once sang that, for rock musicians, it's "better to burn out, than it is to rust." He might have been speaking of Jay Bennett.

At 45, Mr. Bennett had already played with and been fired from a nationally famous band, Wilco. He also played in local bands like Steve Pride & His Blood Kin and Titanic Love Affair.
