(not exactly P) Roky Erickson

[Michael Bailey]

good doc-o on Netflix

the brother who's a tuba player in the symphony really helped him and
has a great house.
I think his dad lives next door, looked like it anyway?

but like R Crumb's mom, I sorta feel for Mrs Erickson

that thing where she's shooting the home movie and having Roky sing,
"Roky King of the Beasts" is really funny, almost straight outta one
of the mother-son scenes in GR


the mom reminded me of Lake Traverse a bit - she has a story worth
telling (the director obviously thought so)

the tuba-playing brother - very cool guy; I think I'd like to work
with his "mentor" (therapist) - tuba-dude got Roky in and made him get
his dental work done AND brings her to his therapist, who is REALLY
nice!

musicwise, the Elevators stuff and his more recent release weren't 1/2
bad, there's some on here but the main focus is the human story

"It is our firm belief that we shall one day learn the plan of the
entire multiverse and travel at will from Sphere to Sphere, from realm
to realm, from world to world, travel through the great clouds of
shifting, multicoloured stars, the tumbling planets in all their
millions, through galaxies that swarm like gnats in a summer garden,
and rivers of light—glory beyond glory—pathways of moonbeams between
the roaming stars." - Michael Moorcock
