 The Mad Daddy has done passed on, but his bones will keep rockin' long after he's gone.
Lux Interior left this world on Wednesday, Feb. 4th. I feel like I've lost my older brother from another lifetime. Tina Peel used to hang out with the Cramps when we first moved to NYC in '77. Having been misfits in our hometown of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, we found kindered spirits in the Cramps, who were outcasts in their hometown, Cleveland. We kinda lost touch over the years, although our paths would occasionally cross. At one point I almost joined them as bassist.
They were a constant source of inspiration.
Rock & Roll was more than music to the Cramps. It was a lifetstyle and a religion. As long as Lux and Ivy were playing, we felt we would remain teenagers.
With his passing, I feel just like I did when I was told I was too old to trick or treat on Halloween.
The world became a little more real on Wednesday. I prefer unreal.
Our deepest sympathies to Ivy.
