The mythology of the Wild Frontman has masked early punk's capacity to attract people with mental illness. To be a wacko underground vocalist in the early 1980s, especially in places like Texas, meant being someone with an above-average capacity to inflict and receive punishment. Stick Men frontman Bobby Sox apparently excelled at both.According to his Dallas Observer obit, he was shot, stabbed, and did time in an insane asylum. Two years after the band broke up, he was imprisoned for beating his girlfriend unconscious with a tire iron and then urinating on her body. Soxx was dead by 45, his liver a charred ingot. It was a typical sad death for a typical 20th century alcoholic American.
