wine never does that. i can taste the colors of the music.your face won't stay still and the walls are breathing. let's go outside and go down to the park and look at the stars. wow,man, every source of light emits the whole spectrum of color in geometrical patterns.i can see how that oak tree is part of me and me of it. some of my molecules are billions of years old and some came from before time began.seriously. my love for you and it will never die. haha yeh.

I used to spend the night at the Catacombs in Houston guarding their equipment as I was the doorman there. I have to admit friends and I carefully played on that equipment into the early morning hours and slept on the stage. Good times. 1966.

Grandissimo stupendo Roky you are the best ever 

[mhasting22]

I used to sleep on the stage of the Catacombs in Houston to safeguard your equipment. You are the reason I got into the music biz. Thank you!

[jimi99colorado]

The 3 nights the Elevators played at La Maison on Richmond in early '66 when "You're Gonna Miss Me" was going up the Houston charts...changed my life.

If only music were still this genuine.

[anklepantsmagazine]

Gotta love that voice!

[ouuutlaaaw]

Just a great song from a musical genius. Love it!

[Skulldini]

Rocky Erickson is absolutely the greatest thing that has ever come out of the American South ! In fact, I dare even say that in the future whenever I hear anyone dumping on southerners ( as it is currently so fashionable to do ) then I will murder them just for Rocky's sake.

[dullsvillain]

@Skulldini

Worth mentioning that his state gave him shock therapy and disabled him for decades though. A hippie in sixties Texas?...you were F####D !

[irishman572]

@Skulldini well except for lynard skynard.

[Skulldini]

@irishman572 Oh yeah, him too. Anybody els I'm overlooking here ?

[irishman572]

@Skulldini  I don't think so, cause there weren't many coming out of the south at the time. Both amazing bands but I do like Roky a tad better.

[Skulldini]

@irishman572 Me too.  I think it's because I also hapen to be a kind of horror & fantasy buff, and Rocky has that affinity with the fantastic and macabre in his stuff. But they're both great acts musicaly.

[obstipatiomentalis]

yes

[jrhollobaugh]

best one yet
