Roky Erickson - Philosophy, Religion and Music

Roky in an informal, unplugged b&w setting - thanks to YouTuber meatrobot for informing me that it was recorder on June 1, 1983, by Roky's mother Evelyn at her house in Austin, Tx.

Parts 2 and 3 are on here too.

I love this guy, he's insane only for people with no soul at all !

[vuluv]

Pop music, commercial or whatever, should always strive for this.

bloody oath!

[acousticgrooven]

Roky aint insane, he's exceeded our level of understanding. He's a breed ofhis own, and his mind has been enveloped by creativity. Got bored with the munedane reality and started creating his own reality to spice things up.

I somehow get a feeling that both the Foo Fighters and Bonnie Prince Billy have heard this song at some early stage in their artistic development.

[spurtfather]

well Robert Pollard's obviously a fan.
