Wow. I hadn’t heard he died. That article was utterly fascinating to me. I’m a huge Pixies fan and to read of Norman’s influence on Black Francis (whose Pixies in turn influenced so many) was great because I grew up with Norman’s rock-n-roll jangle feeding the rhythms of my youth.
I just ripped my old Norman albums to iTunes and think I’ll give him a listen for the first time in forever.
