Worms by the Million Sing for Alex Chilton
(Flourishes for Phil)
Alex Chilton, author of the bastardized theme song to That ‘70s Show, has died of a heart attack at the age of 59. Chilton had a #1 song at the age of 16 – The Letter, with The Box Tops, then came back at #2 with Cry Like a Baby the following year. He later founded the influential band Big Star, released several indie albums, produced records for grimy garage-rock bands like the Cramps and the Gories, and got tributed by the Replacements, who sang “Alex Chilton” on the album Pleased to Meet Me.
