1. Roky Erickson

Overlooked genius of American rock and roll. I'm listening to I Think of Demons, based on his one and only big label release from the early 1980s (most of the music is from the late 1970s). Stu Cooke of Creedence Clearwater Revival produced. It's a masterpiece. Holy music for Satanists and horror movie addicts.

2. If prejudice against insane horror-movie obsessed redneck Satanists

weren't so prevalent, we'd all be humming Roky Erickson's "Don't Shake Me Lucifer" as readily as we hum "Good Vibrations."

Am I the only DUer who knows who Roky Erickson is? :wtf:

3. You're so not.

Better site: http://www.rokyerickson.net/

Someone posted on another forum that he had died... I hate when people do that.

4. When!?

I like this Peter Buck description of Roky: "Buddy Holly on acid"

5. ROFL - that's a great description

I'm a huge fan of Roky's. :hi:

8. I put that album on my Walkman yesterday to listen to while vacuuming

and I've been listening to it over and over and over since. That always happens when I listen to it.

6. He didn't, of course.

Someone posted it a week or two ago. I about had a fit when I read it and checked the official site... he's fine.

That description certainly fits!

7. That is a fabulous site

I've just been immersing myself in it.

9. It is great, isn't it?

:hi:

Glad you found the link helpful... I was wondering if I should post it, figuring you'd most likely already seen it... glad I did.

11. Another reason to love Roky: They'll never use him to sell cars!

:thumbsup:

(At least not while the country is in full frontal Jesus mode.)
