Roky should have borrowed Joe "King" Carrasco's crown-it would have looked better than the one he's wearing there. However, nothing can detract from the music and the voice-"You're not Buchanan!"
A raw stripped down version of one of Rokys Greatest songs. I think this was the early 80's. I doubt he'll play this at Johnny Brenda's this November but one can hope.
about 2 weeks ago from this post is when i first heard his music and i have been a fan of one of the bands he inspired for years(the butthole surfers). erickson is like a seed bearing fruit. the original apple may only be appreciated by a few, but those seeds remain and get picked up and scattered around . . . anyway, this is a great version of one of my favorite erickson songs
True that.....I have all the best wishes for Roky.My brother was simularly effected.So i can empathize.I like a video called "Don't Slander Me",by Rokey.Give it a look-see.
STAND FOR THE FIRE DEMON!!!! it really surprises me how not a lot of people know about roky. he has such an amazing voice and he honestly blows jim morrison and the other performers of his day out of the water
Ahhhh, so loaded with feeling, might even be the best version of this track

Some people care about the music more than the personal lives of people they've never met - documented on film or not.
