There's a slightly macabre part of me that frequently motivates me to check out the recent deaths on Wikipedia, and on the 5th is when I read about Lux. It kicked me right in the gut. The guy was ageless. How was it possible that he was actually 62? The Cramps were/are just so bloody fantastic, but I was SO unprepared for how badly the news would make me feel. I was in on the ground floor with them, enjoying them right from the start. But I hadn't listened to them for a while now and it made me feel really sort of ashamed. So I've been OD-ing on them for about a week now, gladly doing my penance.
It's such good listening for the car. My kid gave me a great laugh while driving him to school this morning. I was skipping through the disc to find "The Crusher" and when he heard the intro to "Goo Goo Muck" and thought I wouldn't play it he got pissed off at me! Of course I played it, then... it's probably our hands-down fave.
Where's the smilie for stunned grief?
