Featured Review from ChicagoInnerview
May 15, 2012Rock is not dead — because Roky Erickson is not dead. The man who, some claim, invented psychedelia did so by pouring his own lustful madness and life into his music. It is for his and other transcendent souls of his era’s continuing life force that the rock and roll of the ‘60s remains more than a desperate Vegas side show. The rock of Erickson’s heyday was every kind as dangerous as rock is supposed to be. And occasionally, rock needs to be reminded. Erickson’s public mental health struggles are not just a footnote, but have become the story of him. This sad fact is as much his draw as is the glorious music that propelled him to the forefront of a monumental cultural movement. Symbiotically, rock is alive and hungry because Roky Erickson is alive and hungry. (Appearing with Human Eye and Estrogen Highs at Empty Bottle on May 20) –text: Phil Forsyth more at chicagoinnerview.com
