O MY SOUL

“Who's Alex Chilton?”

Even a small measure of grief can make it hard sometimes to speak with the unaffected.

“Alex Chilton. Singer for Big Star.”

“Big Star?”

Some are older, some are younger, so it's not just a generational thing.

“Big Star. They were like The Raspberries with a chemical imbalance.”

“Who were The Raspberries?”

OK, fuck y'all. Alex Chilton died. In 1973, he made music that I cared about in 1993. He didn't do too much that registered with me after that. But 59 is too young.

And December boys still got it bad...
