He has just left ...Lux is no Human, how can He die. He has just left for Mars and an exented holyday in the Galaxy and He will never be gone. Lux can never really die. We must pray to Lux now more than ever so that He may have our energy to send back to Ivy. Strongly felt His Spirit and know He's still on his Plane Of Existence He would never leave Ivy until She was ok.<br />I pray to Lux send Him my energies and of course send those energies to Ivy...<br />SlimGilSlimGilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15499109.post-7032125199980715162009-04-02T19:18:00.000-07:002009-04-02T19:18:00.000-07:00Thanks Kid, that was beautiful.Thanks Kid, that was beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15499109.post-68530953936683947962009-02-12T09:34:00.000-08:002009-02-12T09:34:00.000-08:00Apart from their own original music and aesthetic,...Apart from their own original music and aesthetic, I have also always respected Lux and Ivy as historians. I've seen photos and video footage of the amazing, one-of-a-kind collection of music, art, and pop culture ephemera they so lovingly displayed in their home. I believe I've even read that the duo had at least one copy of every single rockabilly 45 from that music's golden age! Personally, I'll cherish my memories of often bumping into Lux & Ivy at Aron's Records on Melrose in LA. In the late '80s, I was feverishly collecting episodes of the '60s tv series "The Avengers" on VHS. Aron's would typically get in new titles every Friday, and on several occasions I had to compete with Lux & Ivy for the new arrivals. Out of respect, I would let them get first pickings. It was the least I could do in return for all the fantastic music they created.Cisco Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429961276465378344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15499109.post-77130956074858947882009-02-11T22:44:00.000-08:002009-02-11T22:44:00.000-08:00Thanks for writing that very eloquent piece about ...Thanks for writing that very eloquent piece about Lux and your years with them. I had a hunch you would have something to say.<BR/>One of the things I have always admired about them (from afar, natch. I have never met them), is that they are always praising someone else or talking about who or what they love, music-wise. They have inspired so much mayhem that's sadly needed in this world. I'm really going to miss Lux and the Cramps. I sure hope Ivy continues to do something with her formidable talent. She smokes as a guitarist and is a walking lexicon of the history of rock n' roll!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15499109.post-10082189033580407912009-02-10T03:15:00.000-08:002009-02-10T03:15:00.000-08:00thanks Kid for this post.
