Home again, late

Was gonna write about how many amazing musicians are at Folklife, or about the man that bowed low on the street before asking what building had previously stood on the corner and when I said I didn't know he spoke of us all falling through time and then apologized for the poetic speech saying he was a little drunk. But then I went and watched the Big Star documentary and it kinda' wiped me out. http://www.bigstarstory.com/.  It's pretty heartbreaking. (And my throat is still in the road-rash phase of the cold.)

Here's a solo version of Thirteen, from you tube, it's from 1974, from a radio interview WLIR. It's just Alex Chilton. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUV6XjNWRjo ealier in the interview he makes a comment about it being anachronistic, he's about 24 years old when he's singing this here, though I believe he wrote it when he was younger.
