"Alex Chilton, 54, the rock singer and guitarist, was listed Thursday on the missing-persons page of the Times-Picayune's Web site. He had stayed in New Orleans during the storm, said a spokeswoman for his record label, Rykodisc, and has not been heard from since. " (Chicago Tribune) (via No Rock&Roll Fun)
