CRobi21 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Huge Big Star fan here. I'm very sad to hear this. He and Chris Bell are somewhere making music together again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 He was just one of those nobody musicians that no one listened to but popular bands would always say was an "influence" on their music to try to give their music some artistic credibility. just kidding. Dude was great. Too bad he never hit the big commercial success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACW Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Haven't heard of this guy, but no way he could've been as big a DOUCHEBAG as Mayer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon? If he was from Mars, wouldnt that be cool Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a pile? Hangin' down in Memphis all the while Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round They sing "I'm in love. What's that song? I'm in love with that song." Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice. Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice. Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchange good lucks face to face. Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place. Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round They sing "I'm in love. What's that song? I'm in love with that song." I never travel far, without a little Big Star Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards. Falling asleep with a flop pop video on. If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon? If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round They sing "I'm in love. What's that song? I'm in love with that song."

Rocky21 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'm only going to say this now that he has passed on but if he had of died in Memphis that would have been cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
