Alex Chilton, singer and guitarist of Big Star, and cult icon, has passed away at the age of 59 after reportedly suffering a heart attack in New Orleans.

Among the many obituaries of Alex circulating today, perhaps the most revealing comes from fellow musician Chuck Prophet.

Writes Prophet: "He defies categorization entirely. ENTIRELY. Isn’t that rock and roll? What rock and roll was and should be all about?"
