Alex Chilton Missing

Family and friends of musician Alex Chilton (lead singer for 1970s powerpop band Big Star and 1960s rock group the Box Tops) have not been able to locate him since late Monday when he was last heard from alive at his house in New
Orleans after the initial storm before the phones in the area went down. His sister in Memphis and friends are very worried because people are now dying in New Orleans from exposure and he has still not been able to get to a place to
contact his family and friends. It is believed he may possibly be waiting to be evacuated in the French Quarter, which was within walking distance of his home. Please contact [email protected] with any information about his condition.

Should we e-mail that address and tell them he wanted a ticket for an airplane because he didn't have time to take a fast train?

I saw him at Mississippi Nights in about nineteen eighty something. Back when I was a real St Louisan.

Cerebreal rape and pillage
In a village of his choice
Invisible man sings with
An invisible voice

And children by the millions
Scream for Alex Chilton
When he comes round, they say
"I'm in love, what's that song?
I'm in love with that song"

I never travel far
Without a little Big Star

LX Chilton made contact with his family late last night. No details, or even news about whether he's in NO still or an evacuee, but he's alive and safe.
