RIP Alex Chilton

Alex Chilton once told me to fuck off, in the middle of a gig, in front of an entire audience.

When he felt like it tho, he could be the nicest guy and would sign almost anything you put under his nose after a show. I saw him play another local show, with a friend who worked in a used record store. He'd brought along a stack of official and not-so-official releases and when he presented these to him, Alex shoved the official stuff aside and signed each and every one of the bootlegs.
