Roky Erickson

That's neat! Viewers beware that YT apparently muted the last minute or so of the video for copyright reasons.

Also cool seeing what Waterloo Records looked like back then. Not sure if they'd yet split off the vinyl to a separate shop around the block in '90, as they definitely had by '92, when I first visited (the vinyl shop) as a tyke, tagging along with my older sister. Obviously they eventually brought the records back to the main store, which during the separation was known as Waterloo CDs; Waterloo Video took over the space vacated by the vinyl store.

..The records back to the main store, which during the separation was known as Waterloo CDs; Waterloo Video took over the space vacated by the vinyl store. Waterloo Sunset? Now the vinyl could have taken back over, like Napoleon's return (for a while, of course).
Prob mentioned it way upthread, but don't miss the DVD edition of Roky doc You're Gonna Miss Me, with updates and misc. bonus video short subjects....just step inside this house---dunno if any of that made it to blu-ray, don't suppose somme streams incl. all that, but hopefully they do (I've reached my own Waterloo Sunset of onlife, but glad for others to go furthur).

"if the blues are empty/hell is filled"

Is it pronounced Roe-key or Rock-ee?

It's a contraction of his forenames, Roger Kynard, so it's Rocky, I suppose.

Ah, ta.

yup
