RIP Alex

Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 10:33 amVery sad...Alex Chilton & Big Star were monumental influences on a whole generation of bands.
Along with Velvet Underground and Nick Drake they were far more renowned critically and never received the commercial success they sorely deserved.
Vale Alex...you will be missed but not forgotten.
