It upset me, but I assumed it'd have been taken down by now. But it hasn't, and a post went up on Defamer about it, so I thought I'd finally share it here since they saved me the trouble of going to take a picture.
I like Smith's music, and even if you're not a fan, you have to admit that tagging someone's memorial is a serious offense.

I hope that what the fans wrote can be saved.

I would say he had touched the lives of enough people that they chose to honor him for the contribution that he made to their lives.
Music is a wonderful thing that can touch people deeply. Maybe he didn't fit a war or go to the moon, or invent a cure for cancer, but sometimes art can touch people deeply any way.

Andrew,
Naz answered it better than I could have.
Neither my ego, superego, or id have anything to do with it.

But it has become a memorial, and that should be respected.
And from what I understand, "real" taggers do abide by a code, and this clearly breaks it.
But this isn't a tagger, this is just a piece of shit with a spray can.
Honestly, if it were "just a wall," I'd still think it was a lame thing to do.
The fact that the wall means something to a lot of people makes it an even worse thing.

Y'all's HATERS!
P.S. The graffiti is still up, but seems to be almost fading, or my brain is blocking it out. Whatever. Still hope the kid breaks his head on the pavement after climbing a billboard or some shit.
P.P.S.
Anyone know what's going on at the Phix with the tribute? Are bands playing covers, or what?

Hey! An update, some three years later... the wall is all cleaned up and now has a picture of Smith, too.

Gotta say, adding a stencil is overselling it.
Like the way they had to make 2 Vietnam Memorials because some people "just didn't get" The Wall.
