cheap trick was such a good cover band
alex chilton was and always will be a pioneer in rock and roll
the first song i learned on guitar was by big star and that was 14 years ago. Ever since, my father has always played alex/big star in the background while I grew up.

The sad thing is, even with the publicity surrounding his death, my generation (im 25) and foward still probably won't recognize the impact he had on music, but that's just my opinion.

Alex may have died but rock and roll has not, in part thanks to him.
