I never thought I would see the day that the Replacements get name checked in the halls of Congress. Thank you so much for that heartfelt tribute to Chilton.

Anyone ever notice that one of the girlfriends from GTA4 is called Alex Chilton?

I'm guessing that one of the game creators was a big fan!...

Mr. Cohen,

Thank you for honoring Alex Chilton in this way. This is certainly one of the most touching commemorations I have heard in a political forum.

I was 6 when I first heard Alex Chilton singing The Letter. I still have the very 45 my mom bought back then. I grew up on Alex's music--from the Box Tops to Big Star, to his solo endeavors--I love it all--and his passing was deeply saddening. It just goes to show that we need to appreciate each and every day. Congressman, YOU ROCK!

Mr. Cohen.

Best regards from Zurich, Switzerland

Thank you for this: One of the VERY few times when I actually agree with something a politician does (says) in Washington.
