In this current deluge of famous people dying I’m afraid people are going to miss this one: Sky Saxon, lead singer of seminal garage rock band The Seeds, died yesterday in Austin, Texas. There’s a fair number of Seeds videos out there, but my favorite is probably this random appearance on The Mothers In Law:
So long, Sky.
i hope the characterization of _the seeds_ as _seminal_ was deliberate, grin.

Oh that certainly crossed my mind, but only after I wrote that.

I met Sky in his heyday up at his home in Topanga Cyn.
An peculiar type of guy…I could never figure him out.
At one time I heard him say he was better than Mick Jagger… I never responded to that remark.
Rest in peace man.
