Outside Austin, Texas, a 53-year-old man sits in an apartment listening to 4 radios, 3 televisions, a radio scanner, and a Casio electric piano. At the same time. Loudly. His hair is matted and he has a notarized document on the wall declaring himself an alien. Thirty years earlier, Roger Kynard "Roky" Erickson was a rock-and-roll icon: the manic white-blues singer who fronted the 13th Floor Elevators, a band considered by many to be the creators of psychedelic music.
