This hits me hard. I saw The Cramps three times in DC and every time Lux put on an amazing show. In the last show I saw (during their tour for How to Make a Monster abou 04 or 05 I guess) Lux pulled a cork out of a wine bottle with his teeth and spit it into the audience. Guess who caught the cork? Me. It's still sitting on my desk as I type this. I also have a set list I stole off the stage from a previous show too. My favorite concert memory though was when Lux accidentally kicked the mic stand and it flew out into the audience. I was front row center and caught it from falling into the pit between the audience and the stage. He motioned for it back and I threw it javalin style back to him. Lux caught it and spun it around like Darth Maul before breaking it over his head. Then later in the show he came up to me and said, "How do you like the show?" I said, "It's F'ing Awesome!" and he replied "YOU GOT GOOOOOOOOD TASTE!" and the band started playing "You Got Good Taste."
The World has lost an amazing talent....
Here's some clips from The Cramps concert at Napa State Mental Institution. Johnny Cash played prisons. The Cramps played mental institutions. How flippin' cool is that?
