Lux Interior of The Cramps is dead at age 60. Heart condition. I'm always shocked when any of these punk people make it past 45. The body can only take so much. The above video is from a show The Cramps played inside a mental hospital in California in the '70s. Needless to say, such a thing could never happen now. The authorities would never allow it, and even if by some miracle they did, there are no bands left cool enough to pull it off. Pete Wentz is what passes for a punk rocker now. Lux may now commence turning over in his grave.

Pete Wentz is so edgy and hardcore. You know he invented guyliner, right? Just ask all his 13 year-old fans. No male ever thought of wearing eyeliner before Pete Wentz.
there's a documentary about them playing the mental hospital...
one of the girls from the cramps was the tattoo artist in my small northern new england town. she "retired" a year ago, but I always wondered how she found her way here....

Is there ever. It's excellent stuff and can be rented via Netflix or purchased @ turnerclassics for about 30 bucks.
