If you don't know Alex Chilton or his band Big Star, do yourself the favor and check them out.  I for one thought you were one hell of a songwriter. 
 
Damn, I just found out he died when I read this post.

I will always remember when The Replacements "discovered" Alex back in the 1980's and sparked his return to music.  I saw him perform in 1987, I think, in a cafeteria at Yale University in New Haven. 

I hope Alex can rest in peace.  I spent many an awkward teenage night driving around listening to his music.  September Girls is definitely in my top 25 list of all time favorite songs.
