Roky Erickson has delighted and inspired my friends and me since we saw him at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in 2005. My good friend Rodd pointed out to me that Roky must inspire a lot of folks, including someone who designed a typeface called "Cold Night for Alligators," which also happens to be the name of one of Roky's best songs as a solo artist. It's amusing to me, at least, but I'm a journalism geek.
And don't forget to watch Roky on the "Austin City Limits" television show tonight.
