Alex Chilton, RIP

Mostly what people know is The Replacements: "Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes round." Well, and "September Gurls," but that's cause of the Bangles cover. Which was pretty good. I imagine at least half the people on my friends list will have already known the man and his music directly, but in general? Another in the long line of under-appreciated.

I knew about enough about him and his music to know it's a huge loss. I know, oh, about half as much as I should.

Alexandra Chilton was a character in Grand Theft Auto IV, huh? Maybe I underestimate the world. And that is his work at the start of every episode of That 70's Show -- you know, he probably did OK.

( Hey, let's do some music. )
