Rob Sheffield Remembers Ultimate Indie Cult Hero Alex Chilton

Rob did a great job here. Anyone who has read his terrific memoir will be pleased to notice that he mentions in passing how Big Star played a crucial part in his relationship with his first wife. That kinda makes it for me.

It’s not just that I’m reblogging every mention of Chilton on my dashboard today, I swear.
