Seems like I'm blogging the deaths of folks whose work I respect immensely far too often over the past week. If you don't know who Alex Chilton is, read this article, go discover his music (readily available on YouTube + my link to "September Gurls" on here), and thank me later! If you want to know who helped shape the sound of R.E.M., The Replacements, The Smithereens, and some of the other great rock bands of the 80's, it all goes back to them.
May he rest in peace......
