He used the following description to tell eveyone who he was on stage at Altamont. In his words he said, "I'm the guy who looked like he came to change a flat tire." Another legend lost.

It's such a weird sounding record -- really like nothing else I can think of -- the disjointed controlled chaos of "You Can't Have Me", to the stately sadness of "Take Care," to the descending-into-despair feedback-burned "Kangaroo" -- I'll always be grateful for Dickinson for plunging headlong into that project and not trying to tame it. RIP. Sister Lovers is my favorite album bar none, and while Alex Chilton deserves most of the credit — I’ve long thought he doesn’t deserve all of it. It’s such a weird sounding record — really like nothing else I can think of — the disjointed controlled chaos of “You Can’t Have Me”, to the stately sadness of “Take Care,” to the descending-into-despair feedback-burned “Kangaroo” — I’ll always be grateful for Dickinson for plunging headlong into that project and not trying to tame it. RIP.

I love 'Dixie Fried' and I loved reading about him in 'It Came From Memphis'(which is a great, mostly unhearalded music book). The last paragraph of your piece talks about some of the same things I've been feeling for awhile. We've lost Barry Beckett, Mike Seeger and Jim just this year. Better enjoy these people while we can. I am really, really sad to hear about Jim’s passing.
