In almost every interview I read, it was 'Big Star this' and 'Big Star that...' As much as I love Yes and your beloved Rush, there's something about Chilton and Bell's writing that just distils an emotion so succinctly. It makes me sad that they (and Andy Hummel) have passed. I've been practicing my cack-handed version of '13' nearly all week. What a beautiful, simple tune. <br /><br />Best of luck with kicking the fags Don.

A great song will stand up on an acoustic guitar and virtually all of Mr Chilton's stuff does just that.Anything Should Happenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593722184088140203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2358784019076014858.post-41953800812270890992011-03-17T11:36:56.827+00:002011-03-17T11:36:56.827+00:00Fantastic post Rushbo, couldn't agree with you...Fantastic post Rushbo, couldn't agree with you more - although I was not lucky enough to see the man perform. I also recommend the Big Star 4-CD box-set "Keep an Eye on the Sky" - five hours of awesomeness that I keep playing again and again.Ralph Dodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13673282886316887588noreply@blogger.com
