[bomp] Roky

[Sknoof@xxxxxxx]

Wilson sez:

<< His brother has apparently played a very big role in helping Roky get 
himself together. I'm not sure if it's new meds or getting him 
away from his mother, but yeah, he's supposed to be doing and 
playing great. List folks in Austin will undoubtedly know more.

There's also that "You're Gonna Miss Me" documentary from 2005 that, 
I think, chronicles at least the beginning of his recovery (haven't 
seen it). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0791268/ and 
http://www.amazon.com/Youre-Gonna-Miss-Me-Erickson/dp/B000P0J060/ >>
---------------------------------------
See it.  It's pretty harrowing but gives you a large glimpse into what Roky's 
1990s and early 2000s were like.  The mom doesn't come off so good. 

He, and the band, were fabulous when they played in Brooklyn last year.  But 
he never spoke other than to say "Thank ya!  Thank ya!" after every song.  But 
it was just so uplifting to hear him in such fine voice and looking so damned 
happy.
