Music, to me, is the joy, right? I love my kids most of the time, and I love my wife most of the time. Music I love all the time. It's the only constant thing in my life. It's the one thing you can count on. :Keith Richards 1993

Awful news. I urge anyone who hasn't heard Big Star/Chilton to check it out right now. He was quite a pop songwriting mastermind. Let's toast to him and let the lyrics of the Replacements' "Alex Chilton" ring out.

I've been back four days.  I'm like 20 new posts in and haven't missed a goddamn step.

You can read and grade my return post in the Exile thread.

This is how well you monitor "your" board?
