RIP Lux Interior

[jack_babalon]

Goodbye Lux. Thanks for all the kick ass music!

One odd little note I'd like to briefly touch upon: While looking for the story I found this when I typed in his name into the Yahoo search engine:

Cramps singer Lux Interior dies at 60 The Sacramento Bee - 2 hours ago
Cramps Singer Lux Interior Dead At 62 Vh1 - 2 hours ago
Cramps Star Lux Interior Dead At 52 ContactMusic - 1 minute ago

Weird that no one seems to know what year he was born.

aw, no... 'bikini girls' was always a fave of mine.
oh, well. at least he didn't get worn-out and creepy like springsteen and mccartney.

There is always that, but I suspect that Lux had another decent album or two in him. Alas...

Rest in peace, crazy bastard.

I really wish I got to see the Cramps live before he passed.

My friend Matt's mom was an actress. He didn't find out how old she actually was until after she died. He didn't have a clue.

Show folk tend to do that sort of thing. 52 or 60 or 62 are all way too young to die.

Agreed.

Oh no!
No more Lux!
And I was listening to "Big Beat From Badsville" this morning on the bus to work.
Well, he's Cramp-Stomping up in Heaven now... time for memorial and tribute concerts galore.

Yeah, I was actually listening to Human Fly right before I got the news. A bad coincidence indeed.
