RIP Alex Chilton on St Patrick's Day (yesterday). Best known as the voice of The Box Tops ("The Letter") and the genius behind Big Star. A favourite Big Star moment for me is "September Gurls" which The Bangles covered on their smash hit album Different Light in 1986 (the one featruring "Manic Monday" and "Walk Like An Egyptian"). And of course, in 1987 The Replacements released their homage to the man himself"
