Alex with Tink
Alex with The Rev. Horton Heat
Alex with Carlos Ortiz and a Cowgirl waiterAnd I found a couple of mine that are a little better than the ones I posted last night. Both are from the infamous trip to South by Southwest in 1995 :
An Austin horseback cop tells Alex and Sandy he won't have any Junk on his streets.
Junk finally plays SXSW. Their opening act was Irma Thomas.
Sad, tragic news. Last time I saw Alex he did not seem to be in a very good state. This sucks.

Alex was a very special person. He changed my life when I met him 15 years ago and we started our band, Alex was full of great energy. It was a magical time - there was no question that anything was possible. Alex was so talented as a drummer, writer, fixer of our tour van. . . . he could do anything. He was so damned smart and funny . . . and he was also kind and loved people. I know he needed to love himself more, though. This is so hard to write - It sucks that Alex died alone - but wherever he is now I know he feels loved - I love you, Alex.
ReplyDeleteHere is a song that Alex and I wrote in 1992. We were sitting on a porch on a warm night. I played the chords on my guitar, and Alex wrote these words:
I imagined that a stranger was trying to kill me
I thought that the guy next door dealt me drugs
I wondered when fear would ever stop chasing me
when all the while I was chasing myself
I Imagined that I was drowning in an ocean of love
and the water I was drinking turned to blood
I imagined the secrets we shared turned to poison
I thought all the words that you said became lies
I wondered when fear would ever stop chasing me
when all the while I was chasing myself
I imagined our lives in a jar by the window
I thought that someday we could open it up
I wondered if then we could love one another
just for a while without living in fear
