Dead of a heart attack at 59.

Influential musician - worked with other artists that many of us are fans of like Wilco, Replacements, Jon Spencer, Cat Power, etc.

Saw him live at Metro in '98. Not bad.

Chilton Manuals are used by mechanics to help them work on cars. Sorry for the vaguery.

Who the hell doesn't know what a Chilton manual is?

I'm far from a mechanic myself, but I remember well the old man going to the local library to reference the Chilton manuals in the early '80s or so then getting his own manuals every Christmas thereafter and accessing them if and when a repair was in order.

Ah, small town life...

Replacements, one of the all time underrated bands.

Big Star was one of the most influential bands of the early '70's within the music industry, yet many people have never heard of them. They mixed the Beatles, Beach Boys & power pop They were gonna play at SXSW next week in Austin.
Chilton was a genius songwriter.

What do these manuals have to say about the car's Johnson Rod?
