Alex Chilton's death is the end of an era.. it's really sad how we never consider these things, and yet it occurs.. R.I.P

MAN WE SURE LOVE AND ALREADY MISS ALEX......I looked up cool, and right there man was The Box Top's and Big Star's front man William Alexander Chilton's picture.....rest in peace my friend......maybe we can jam on the night shift when I get up there maestro.....two hearts are better than one.....BUT hey, we won't need old dusty hearts any ol' way..........just a little bit a soul baby.

I spent $60 on them at FYE when I bought Keep an Eye on the Sky. I had heard briefly about them, but I didn't know anything about them except for the name. That was the best $60 I have spent in music. This music changed my life more than any other band. Thank you Big Star!

Wow! AWESOME footage! I always wondered if there was any surviving footage of these guys! I'm sure this will come up in the upcoming documentary of them...nice to know that it exists! Cool to see Chris and Alex in such great spirits! : ) R.I.P to them both!
