Quote #123

Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators, a band out of Texas, they were basically the first psychedelic-rock band, 1965. And if you listen to old 13th Floor Elevators stuff - Roky Erickson especially, his voice - and then go back and listen to early Led Zeppelin, you know that Robert Plant absolutely copped everything from Roky Erickson. And it's amazing. And Roky Erickson is sitting in Austin, Texas; he's just there. And Robert Plant had a huge hit. It always goes back to those guys, you know? I love those fucking guys. (2004)
