Of all the hundreds of bands I have seen over the last 40 years, the Cramps were, by a longshot, the wildest, and no two Cramps shows were alike (I saw them roughly 20 times?). Lux Interior was the ultimate showman, unpredictable and real gone, in the best sense of the phrase.

Regarding “Garbage Man,” go back and listen to Milton Brown & The Brownies, a Western Swing band, from the 40s. That’s where you’ll hear the genesis of the song. It was done Cramps style, and as they did with most covers, they either made it their own or improved upon the original, e.g. “Green Fuz.”

I followed the Cramps for over 30 years; life is not the same without them.
