CHICAGO SUN TIMES "When I last wrote about Roky Erickson in May 2005, I noted that the legendary Texas musician had spent the last two decades trailing Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett and Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson atop the list of rock's most tragic burnouts."
The author of this piece on the mythical Roky Ericson, the sloppy Jim Derogatis, copies his own previous article, and falls in line with nearly every other music critic, to compare Roky Ericson to Brian Wilson. Can't these guys think of something new?
