RIP, Lux!

Shit, crap, damn, bloody hell, what the fuck.
Just heard the news here.
Nearly all the Ramones are gone and now good old freaky Lux.
I feel a bit down now as everyone can imagine.
Say hello to Elvis from us Lux.

When I heard this news last night, suddenly the whole damn world seemed a lot less fun.

Thank you, Kopper... It's now corrected and uploaded... (if it hasn't changed: clear cache/history in browser)

Great poster, but he was born in 1946, though (according to Wikipedia and the Cramps' website).

Tonight, if you're in Los Angeles, Psychotonic at The Bigfoot Lodge will have a whole night dedicated to Lux Interior & the Cramps...
For more information, check out the events page (http://garagepunk.ning.com/events) for Thursday, February 5th.

Totally weakening, i can't believe it. Lux was a legend, the Cramps have been a huge influence to me, their early stuff especially.. R.I.P.

[Joenzy]

I was wishing this was untrue.
but alas, Lux is gone.

One of my top favorite performers of all time.

I only got a chance to see them once...
but it blew my mind...

Love you Lux.

I will never forget the first time I saw Lux and the Cramps - they opened my eyes to what could be in music. RIP Lux.

His physical body can die, but the true essence of what Lux IS cannot die or be destroyed. Ditto for all the great men we have lost so recently.

Rock n Roll suffered a great loss. RIP Lux, gone but never forgotten!

To adapt a lyric from my old drunk friend, beat cowboy poet Kell Robertson, "Come on in, Lux, it's cool and dark inside."

He was a great one. All of us in here owe him a lot. Peace be upon you, Mr. Interior. And peace to all my friends in the Hideout.

Cleveland Plain Dealer had one of the better informed obits.
