31 Days of Halloween - Day Ten - Roky Erickson - I Walked With a Zombie

31 Days of Halloween

Day Ten:
ROKY ERICKSON - I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE


There's plenty of Roky material that's appropriate for Halloween, many from the record "The Evil One," surprise surprise. Though himself not evil (good bad, he's not evil) he was subjected to mistreatment at a Texas mental hospital in the late 1960's and early 70's that caused many problems for him. If it weren't for the fact that his brother took over his guardianship in 2001 this story might have been much more sad, but Roky still tours to this day. Check out this documentary if you want the whole story.
