Roky was a true visionary and legend.
I did see him once in Austin at a one day festival called The Hill on the Moon. It was in '73 and Roky wasn't really up to performing. Most unfortunate.

Hadn't been too long since he'd been released from Rusk Mental Hospital, fresh off a course of electroshock and Thorazine. Rusk was the hospital for the criminally insane at the time. A lovely place.

I loved the guy. Here's one from Easter Everywhere.
