Hello everyone, I have been wanting to post something here for the last two days, this is really hard to take, Lux was the most talented showman of our time and he was a very nice guy the couple of times we spoke.
The Cramps never gotten the credit they so justly deserved, they have done more to change our culture than anyone cares to acknowledge or understand.

I too was surprised this wasn't in general or music, Sven did shoot the Stay Sick videos and told me that both Lux and Ivy were into Tiki. They had a mug collection way back when very few people had a clue and were supposed to contribute some of their collection to BOT. I have a girly photo magazine here someplace with photos Lux took of Ivy and in one she's posing in front of their Tiki bar.

RIP Lux

part of why the cramps were so great was precisely because they never got the credit they deserved...nothing ruins a band faster than main stream attention....imagine if the frat boys in our college days were blasting the cramps from greek houses across america....how much would you want to vomit at the mere thought of it.....no, i'm glad the cramps remained under the radar for so long....it makes their legacy that much more important,personal and memorable....tom waits has managed to do the same for the large part of his career....i think that's pretty cool....
