            <description><![CDATA[ It's two months late, but here's my customary eulogy:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The path you walked was thorny through no fault of your own,<br />
But as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea,<br />
And tears run to a predestined end ...<br />
Find peace for eternity, my son ...<br />
<br />
<br />
                                               --- from "The Wolf Man"]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ The Camel Cigarettes show ay Gray's Armory was an amazing experience.  It was definitely 1997.  The crowd was better and more in to them at the Odeon show which was only a week or two before.  The Camel show for those of you that don't know was a "thank you" show to all of the bars in the area that became exclusively Camel Cigarette carriers.  Only Camel bar owners and employees were given tickets to this event.  I begged Amneh, our Promotions Director at the time to get her hands on some tickets for that show.  Somehow, she did and I got in.  Camel decked the hall with rave gear from the day.  It was very space ship and Alien themed.  Two long tables extended the length of the hall filled with tons of food (good stuff, not just pizza), beer and liquor.  Cigarette Girls circled the hall offering packs of smokes to anyone that wanted them.  All of this was free for  the guests.  I suckled upon the teat of Big Tobacco and I loved every minute of it.  The Cramps came out and played a great set.  The attendees, were not all hardcore Cramps fans but the Cramps still put on a great show.  Later that night, I staggered back to the station and hung out with Mark Doremus and Harry Palms who were doing Mark's last episode of the Graveyard Shift.  <br />
<br />
I have a copy of the Cramps show at the Odeon from one or two weeks before the Camel show (I was able to wrestle away the DAT recorder from Dricore for the night).  Look for it in the push box this week.  That show was on Nov. 20, 1997.   <br />
<br />
I'll miss Lux.  He was a great showman.  He always looked and played the part of a zombie rock 'n roller.  The last time the Cramps came through town, he looked like he was peeled off the cover of a Back From the Grave album - [<a href="http://tinyurl.com/as8sf9" rel="nofollow" >tinyurl.com</a>]  Even then, he was still climbing the stacks of speakers and jumping all over the place, deep throating his mic and making obscene guttural noises and wailing out great music.  He was a byproduct of North East Ohio's pop culture of his youth.  Ghoulardi, The Mad Daddy and bad horror movies and were all huge influences on him.  If he grew up anywhere else, the music would probably not have been as good.  His distinct link to Cleveland and Akron even though he hadn't lived in the area for decades is why he is going to be missed.  He tapped in to the sick psyche that many of us share.  <br />
<br />
Roll on <br />
Rock on <br />
Raw Bones <br />
Well I still got all the rythem in these <br />
Rockin' Bones <br />
<br />
I wanna leave a happy memory <br />
when I go, I wanna leave something <br />
to let the whole world know, <br />
that the rock in roll daddy has <br />
a done passed on, but my bones <br />
will keep a rockin' long after I've gone <br />
<br />
<br />
Roll on <br />
Rock on <br />
Raw Bones <br />
Well I still got all the rythem in these <br />
Rockin' Bones <br />
<br />
Well when I die don't you burry <br />
me at all, Just nail my bonesup on <br />
the wall, Beneath these bones let <br />
these words be seen, "This is the <br />
bloody gears of a <br />
boppin' machine" <br />
<br />
Roll on <br />
Rock on <br />
Raw Bones <br />
Well I still got all the rythem in these <br />
Rockin' Bones <br />
<br />
And I worry about tomorrow just <br />
thinkin' about tonight, My bones are <br />
getting restless and I do it up right, <br />
A few more times around a hardwood <br />
floor, Before we turn off the lights and <br />
close the door <br />
<br />
Roll on <br />
Rock on <br />
Raw Bones <br />
Well I still got all the rythem in these <br />
Rockin' Bones<br />
<br />
Rock on, Lux!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ wow '97?  It's all a blurr.  Well, thanks for correcting me, after me correcting 669. It was a cool fun show.  I remember buying milk for my mom at drug mart in Lakewood in 83. I got in line right behind Brian Gregory. I was like, wow that's the guy on Bad Music for Bad people. That band I saw on the cutting edge! Wow. Last I heard he owns a porno shop in Fla.  <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Sorry to inform you but, it's February of 2009.  Not 2008.  Yes, I miss Lux and feel so bad that I missed the last show with the stupid attitude like i'd see them 10 more times.  They were a huge influence on my teenage head years.  I saw them in 94 or 95 twice in one month. they played the Odeon and the Armory Camel cigarettes party.  That was memorable!  I saw them a few other times too.  Hard to believe it's all in the past.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ No joking...Lux's death was personally one of the more upsetting deaths of 2008 and it was a year that was chock full of depressing high-profile deaths.  Carlin, Heath Leger, and Bernie Mac to name just a few names among many others.  Even late 2007 had the deaths of James Brown and Chas Smith which was quite a loss to Rock & Roll history as well as to everyone else.  They will all be missed.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I just found out yesterday. I complimented Pete from This Way Out vintage shop on his old Cramps shirt and he told me the news.<br />
<br />
Who's going to write such great lines like "I got 96 tears in my 96 eyes" and "life is short, filled with stuff" now that Lux is gone?]]></description>
