Play a Sad Song-Big Star's "Ballad Of El Goodo"

Felt like listening to a sad, melancholy tune after hearing of the death of NRBQ's Tom Ardolino. This one always puts me in a melancholy, reflective mood. Big Star, led by true American eccentric Alec Chilton, like NRBQ, was another great American cult band, beloved by it's fans but unknown to the masses. Chilton, who sang lead on "The Letter" by the Boxtops at the age of sixteen, passed away a couple of years back way before his time. He left an unforgettable body of work and this is one of my favorites.
