Woke up yesterday and found this in my mailbox;You're Gonna Miss MeDocumentary about rock n roll pioneer Roger Kynard "Roky" Erickson, whose band the 13th Floor Elevators coined the term "psychedelic rock" in the 60's. Struggling with drug abuse and schizophrenia, he spent 3 years in Rusk State Hospital after pleading insanity on marijuana charges. His new band, Roky Erickson and the Aliens managed to stay vital during the 70's with a darker and more aggressive rock sound. After losing interest in music, he became a recluse, living in poverty and filth. The movie details the rise and fall of Roky Erickson and his brothers struggle to get Rokys life back on track. I have no idea this even existed!? I skimmed through it and it seems to be more about his personal life, but it's still going to be a decent watch. Anyhow, just a heads up because I didn't even know this existed. Maybe I'm a little in the dark, who knows...
