Garage Rock Icon Larry Tamblyn Dead at 82

Pioneering garage rocker Larry Tamblyn passed away on Friday at the age of 82.

Even if you don’t know Tamblyn by name, you likely know his musical handiwork—especially if you’ve ever been to a Red Sox or Bruins game in Boston. Tamblyn was a lead vocalist and keyboardist for the Los Angeles-founded band The Standells, whose 1966 hit song “Dirty Water” is played at the end of both teams’ home games, and other Beantown sporting events. (The Standells’ drummer, Dick Dodd, sang lead on “Dirty Water.”)
