    Thanks for posting the videos. Been listening to Big Star all day, along with the Box Tops. Sadly, co-workers had no idea who he was when I mentioned his passing.

    Truly a sad day for the music world.

    The Box Tops, Big Star, solo, he was a tremendous musician.
    Cheers,

    Funny how some artists can exert such a huge influence yet be totally unknown by most folks. Alex Chilton was one of them. A true original.

    I was thinking about this after I heard that Alex Chilton passed away-I never fully appreciated Alex Chilton or Big Star, even though almost every group that I have been into was heavily influenced by him...but after I heard the news I went back and re-listened to a bunch of their stuff, really incredible-What a loss-
