  • roky- i love you. LOVE.YOU. and anyone who doesnt know, his youngest brother, Sumner Erickson, is the man who got roky out of his entangles poverty stricken prison-like mess ans sacrificed everything to help his brother to regain wellness. without sumner i do not think we would have heard anything from roky still since 1985.

    sumner- you are my hero. and you saved my other hero.

  • Does anyone know what book Roky's talking about in response to the first question? I tried searching for 'The Striped Dragon' a few different ways and wasn't able to come up with anything.

  • Syd Barret makes Roky look like Barack Obama.

  • I suppose the Roky fans harken to the old days. Okkervil River studio songs are the best music around, though I cringe at their live performances.

  • eurghh correction...

    Cool... Roky Ericson interviewed by John Lennon.

    They both are trully the real heroes of rock'n roll. Glad he's still around and he's better than ever.

    Bought my first albums of Roky 20 or 30 years ago and finally gonna see him alive in no less than two days from now.

    Btw anybody ever heard that great track he recorded with Mogwai, so beautyfull, it makes a grown man cry

  • He seems really healthy now. Good times!

  • I saw Roky last night in Baltimore. GREAT SHOW! Roky's voice sounded like 1980 and his band was spot on. Not sure who they were though...but they were great.

  • I LOVE ROKY ERICKSON! ROCK ON!
