RIP Alex Chilton (1950-2010)

Horrifically sad news out of New Orleans this evening, as it has been confirmed that Alex Chilton has passed away at age 59. One of the most gifted songwriters I've ever had the pleasure of hearing, this is definitely a huge loss for music. In honor, here is one of my absolute favorite songs he wrote, as well as a wonderful tribute song from the Replacements.
