The man, the myth, the legend Alex Chilton has passed away at the age of 59 in New Orleans. Music fans will honor him the only way they know how: listening to the Box Tops, Big Star, and, naturally, The Replacements’ 1987 classic Pleased To Meet Me, in which Chilton provided guitar for the track Can’t Hardly Wait and got some serious love from Westerberg and co. in the song Alex Chilton.
Vaya con Dios, Chilton!
