Man... what a bummer... just learned that Alex Chilton died... he was from up the road from me in Memphis, TN... he was the lead singer for The Boxtops and later had some success with Big Star... he died the other night in New Orleans... and was supposed to have played at SXSW in Austin this week...
'She wrote me a letter said she couldn't live without me no more...
Listen Mister can't you see I gotta get back to my baby once more......'
Damn...
This was my favorite Box Tops / Alex Chilton song...
Damn...
I wanna cry like a baby...
(Like a little bitty baby...)

Didn't know who he was nor the band. (I lack culture sometimes)
ReplyDeleteNice to have you back, btw!! :)
I know the song, the artists keep dying, just like all of us will.
ReplyDelete@ Spring Flower... it has nothing to do with lacking culture... "The Letter" was covered by a host of artists.. I like the version that Joe Cocker did!!! Thank you... its good to be back... :o)
ReplyDelete@ Secretia... yes... you are right... if we all live long enough, we will die!!!
