This is the day that good old fashioned, kick ass, m f'n rockabilly died.

I've Got 96 Tears In 96 Eyes.

Truth in the music, since almost all of his songs revolved around "Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll" with a little horror and psycho humor thrown in to boot!

The Cramps Live At Napa State Mental Hospital pretty much sums up the campiness noir I will remember Lux for. I was able to see them live several times, but the best show I saw them perform at was on New Year's Eve in San Francisco back in the day when they opened for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. What a night and show.

Songs the Lord Taught Us is one of my all time favorite albums, although there isn't a single album or cd I own by the Cramps I don't like.

Back cover to the album "A Date With Elvis".

EP of "The Crusher".

"Psychedelic Jungle". If you don't own this album, stop what you are doing right now and go and buy it. As the title infers, listen to this on...well I think you know!

As the title suggests; "Stay Sick"...not for the "normal" people of the world.

Poster from the album "Off The Bone".

Who knew drugs could be "bad" for you? From "Fiends of Dope Island".

Lux and Ivy.

I didn't even know Lux was ill.

Lux, do me a favor and bitch slap Elvis for me, man!

Do the hammerlock, you turkey neck!

Later,

PTD
