It scarcely seems possible, the time's gone so fast... but it was a year ago (yesterday) that Alex Chilton died.

What he was most famous for, Big Star:

Where he started (at 16, listen to that voice!!), The Box Tops:

And he even had this great song written about him (Westerberg is a self-confessed Chilton fan):

RIP, Alex, wherever you may be...

Anyone else a fan?

No disrespect intended as I have no idea who you're talking about, but I now have the most unholy craving for cheese on toast, with worcester sauce and a few drops of tabasco.

Isn't the power of names an amazing thing?

It's a year since Mark Linkous bought it as well. Time flies. RIP Mark.

Edit: And Alex. RIP Alex (whoever you were)

Yeah, also very true.

Apple Bed came on my random play earlier on today, as it goes. Another really talented guy who went far too young. Sad
