Fw: [Up-Tight] Family of Crawdaddy's Paul Williams needs help

[gary shindler]

A question to Albert Bouchard: One of the responses on the Paul Nelson website says you wrote for Crawdaddy. Were they thinking of Meltzer or Pearlman or did you write for Crawdaddy?

Subject: [Up-Tight] Family of Crawdaddy's Paul Williams needs help


"Paul Williams, the legendary creator of Crawdaddy! Magazine, fell off 
his bicycle in 1995 and suffered a traumatic brain injury, which has 
led to early onset Alzheimer's. His family's having difficulties with 
his care, and so a few of Paul's friend have set up a website both as 
a tribute to his life and work and in order to make an appeal for help.
Apart from being a true Founding Father of 'rock writing', and Philip 
K. Dick's literary executor, Paul should be of special interest to 
Boing Boing readers for his place at the crossroads where the science 
fiction fanzines of the '50's gave rise to an empowered and self-aware 
music-fan subculture -- and helped create what we now know as 'the 
'60's'. For anyone with a curiosity about the formation of world- 
changing subcultures through grassroots media, Paul was there when 
blogging was a twinkle in a mimeograph eye."
