:rip:

That's really sad. I've always been interested in hearing Big Star's music. I think they were described in the 70's as leaders or pioneers of the power-pop movement.

I like The Letter and Cry Like A Baby. Rest in peace, Alex Chilton.

When I think about the music you gave me, I'll cry like a baby...

Rest In Peace Alex, an underappreciated legend.

So sad to hear of Alex's passing... :(

Both Big Star and The Box Tops are amazing bands.



Huge huge loss.

If you dont know about these bands, do yourself a favor and check them both out. :( :(
