The recent passing of beloved/puzzled-over Seeds frontman Sky Sunlight Saxon (not his real name) has brought out some prominent voices to pay tribute. A recent Saxon collaborator -- the irrepresible Billy Corgan -- of Smashing Pumpkins© fame offered up this tribute and reputedly will appear in some sort of all-star pickup band (alongside The Electric Prunes' Mark Tulin and other TBAs) for a Saxon tribute on July 24th at the Echoplex in Glendale.
But now to the important part: a fella we know who was actually alive when Sky and the Seeds were doing their semi-seminal work -- Mr. Nels Cline hisownself -- will be particpating in the tribute. Whether he'll be part of the "Spirits in the Sky" band or just going at it solo-style is anyone's guess. Read Nels' tribute to this late, irreplacable whackjob here.
