Time to get acquainted with Alex Chilton. The Replacements wrote a song called Alex Chilton. Paul Westerberg wrote a tribute to Alex Chilton in The New York Times. I am barely familiar with him, but the tribute makes me sentimental and weepy. Musicians, artists, poets, writers, storytellers - they are humans in the most human ways.
The Replacements - Alex Chilton
Big Star - Thirteen (the only song I knew before Alex Chilton's death - thanks to Wilco's cover - this song makes me nostalgic for a past I didn't even live)
Evan Dando - Nighttime (Alex Chilton tribute at SXSW)
