Very sad. Last seen on Pointless Celebrities a year or so back. He lost both his legs to illness.

Roky Erickson of 13th Floor Elevators died on Friday aged 71.

All I know of him was the interviews he did with Nick Kent (NME). To my knowledge I've never heard a single track by him or them.

The first 13th Floor Elevators album is a psych classic, I reckon you might like some of it. And of course he wrote Slip Inside This House which you'll have heard Primal Scream's version of I'm sure, although that was more of a re-working than a straight cover.

Cheers. I'll have a listen if they're on the usual streaming services.

It's reported that he was doing more than 135mph when he died. My sympathy cup runneth dry. ****.

Didn’t know that!
Agree with you though, and what makes it worse is that he killed his 23 yo cousin too!

Dr John has died of a heart attack at 77.
I expect a cross section of people on here will have enjoyed his music.

I thought you would be a fan! I was listening to Babylon on the way to work - great album.

Yes saw him do a great open air gig at a National Trust property here in Cornwall a couple of years ago - there were a few confused punters.

RIP Mac

I remember the first time I saw himlive was at the Cerdanyola Blues festival when he strolled through the audience -and was happy to chat with fans like me-the night before he was due to play -when Corey Harris was stage.

The last time I saw him was at Marciac (France) a couple of years ago,when he had a gris-gris- vodoo doll on his piano.

A great loss to music,
