Yesterday we told you we might have something more appropriate than lumping him in with June 25th's famous-person death count and pulling your leg about The Fly as means of farewell to the recent late great psych-garage grizzler Sky "Sunlight" Saxon. And here it is, a sweet, illustrated anecdotal paean from Plastic Crimewave, who once performed with the guy (and is coincidentally performing with his Celestial Vision Guitarkestra at Cake Shop in New York tonight).
Check out Plastic Crimewave's Secret History of Chicago Music feature strip for the Chicago Reader here.
it must have been a weird bus ride into the great abyss yesterday.

New York is hungry and may get mean soon...sure hope not but not much room there for art..Hippies../well I guess we only remember the good times in 60s/70s but it was more Vietnam than love in.
This is one strange place on the web...not sure if I like it ot not.
