Your eyes are almost dead Can't get out of bed

I don't have much to say. My favorite band, The Hold Steady were inspired by the great band the Replacements. The Replacements drew inspiration by and wrote a song called 'Alex Chilton'. Chilton recently passed away, just days before his scheduled performance at SXSW. I honestly didn't know too much about the man besides the Replacements song about him. I have since downloaded some of his stuff and there is some really solid tunes. Its always sad to get around to listening to a musician after the band breaks up or worse after the musician dies. Have a listen, won't you?
