rip lux

the music has died
he came he showed us a world from which few have ever returned-like lsd-we were rewired-we searched for the odd in the corners and the strange in the barras,we shopped at flip for the authentic and played our music through glowing valves,in an age where belonging meant giving up he was a light,our kerouac our miller, our salinger-he opened a door to history in an era so smug with its own self importance as to relegate all that went before ,he was there shouting phoney .
Lots of us stopped listening to the cramps later stuff,Im one I know,it didnt matter he still had the ears of some 15 year old somwhere, he always will
,but he came to preach the gospel,we listened ,we changed, we became true disciples , in that we went our own journeys.
we sought the source and by doing so rightly recognised those
who followed.
In the end above all else he taught us all that rock n roll was always meant to be fun
job done
