Yeah! It’s Bumbershoot time, y’all. Can you feel it? I know I can…and I’m not even gonna be here for two-thirds of it! I’ll be in Eastern Washington (I can sense your jealousy). But goddammit, I’ll be back in time for this guy right here! For me, next to Fergie, this year’s Bumbershoot is all about Roky Erickson! You can read all about my love affair with this mad genius/psychedelic pioneer in our Bumbershoot guide. Here’s a clip of him playing this year with his band the Explosives. For those of you who’ve been following Roky’s troubled career, did you ever think you’d see him like this again?
