Jim Dickinson left us. We are much poorer for his absence. Producing Big Star's Third would be enough to get a pretty good table in Asgard, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.
"Thank You Friends" Big Star, Third.
Jim Dickison sired 2/3 of the North Mississippi All Stars, and was also the presiding genius behind Pleased to Meet Me. You have that friend who insists it was all downhill after Sorry Ma..., but let's be honest -- is there a Replacements song you'd rather hear right now than Alex Chilton?
No.
And maybe this is what it will take for Jesus Christ to assume its rightful place as a Christmas staple.
And Wild Horses and Time Out of Mind and Mudboy and the Neutrons and T-Model Ford and OTHAR TURNER! and - miss him.
