Summary:  "Alex Chilton's story is rags to riches in reverse, beginning with teenage rock stardom and heading downward. Following stints leading 60s sensation the Box Tops ("The Letter") Chilton became a dishwasher. Yet he rose again in the 80s as a solo artist, producer, and trendsetter, coinventing the indie-rock genre. By the 90s, acolytes from R.E.M. to Jeff Buckley embodied Chilton's legacy, ushering him back to the spotlight before his untimely death in 2010. Holly George-Warren has interviewed more than 100 bandmates, friends, and family members to flesh out a man who presided over -- and influenced -- four decades of American musical history, rendered here with new perspective through the adventures of a true iconoclast"--Provided by publisher.
