that's really stupid, like arguing Lolita is the work of a pedophile... and anybody who was suddenly shocked to find that Alex Chilton writes unpleasant, antisocial, narcissistic, nasty, miserable lyrics was never listening in the first place

Yes. I mean, if Alex Chilton actually diddled 13-year-old girls as an adult, then this guy would have cause for alarm. Plenty of men have sung about being obsessed with something they can't have, or shouldn't want. It doesn't make them evil.
And dedicating "Thirteen" to Michael Jackson was probably just a sick joke, however unfortunate.

I do worry about people like the writer who take everything (like the Michael Jackson joke) literally.

His name is Alex Chilton and he is best known, in so far as he is known at all, as the singer of an American band called Big Star

"My baby just wrote me a letter...."

Even had the young girl fetish back then.

When Michael Hann saw through his hero, he began to doubt his own identity

Oh good Lord. Alex Chilton is a big creep. Not a shocker. A pedophile? I doubt it. Big creep? Mos def.

He sounds like a sad self-righteous whiney protagonist from a Hornby novel, come to think of it.

Play Led Zep's "The Ocean" to this guy and see what happens

Isn't this the same guy who wrote an article complaining about punk baby tshirts ?

Geez if we're going to convict every person who wrote a lolita like lyric, Sonny Boy Williamson and all the performers of "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" should be rubbed out of history

Not to mention Chuck Berry, John Cale and proabably dozens of others. ("Marie is only 6 years old, information please, help me get in touch with Memphis Tennessee.")

my wife has accused me of being more interested in the history of the Creation record label than in her or my daughter.

I can't imagine why anybody would want to share this accusation with the world, excepting Alan McGee.

rosemary unfortunately via the internet we can't see your gestural demonstrations of the driving manners of men and women so please describe in detail.

sixteen years pass...

listening to this Bar/None Records Alex Chilton playlist that just went from 'No Sex' to 'Oogum Boogum' and even though it's extremely hitting the spot on this not-too-hot summer evening, all I can think about is would this dude have been cancelled had he not died mowing his lawn ten years ago

shout out to pplains for hooking me up with pretty much one of my only decent friends I had during the time I lived in Wisconsin, a fella respectable enough to text another fella a text that said "RIP Alex Chilton"
