RIP. Loved his work with Big Star and the Replacements.

IIRC, he was integral in forming the whole WB/Reprise "sound" of the early '70's. I think he was all over the early Ry Cooder albums, for example. RIP.

He worked with the Replacements? Didn't know that. Was it at Twin Tone? That was the Replacements best work!

RIP.

Wow! I was just listening to a Dylan Theme Time Radio hour where he talked about Dickinson after playing a song by a group he lead (the Mud something or other).

I fins it strange that the Times thinks he'll be best remembered because of his sons' group.

Mud Boy and the Neutrons. I love "Money Talks."
