i won't pull out the bullshit and tell you i was a huge alex chilton fan, but i sure did like what i heard of his over the years. from box tops to his time in big star. fuck, wasn't be actually big star?
but really, i first really found about him when the replacements sang about him on their album, pleased to meet me - an album he played on and had a song titled after him. and something about alex chilton's life and infamy echoed in me. it's hard to explain but, i just liked knowing he was around, being him, even if i wasn't a huge fan. and i loved the song kizza me from third/sister lovers.
alex died of a heart attack on the 17th of this month. he was 59. see him here at 16 or 17.
big star. try it.
