Sparrow Carrera

Sparrow Carrera was an enigmatic figure in southern United States psychedelic pop throughout the 1960's and into the 1970's. He was the host of a short-lived public access television show in Montgomery County, Alabama and sometimes appeared in local rodeos and destruction derbies. Primarily, though, he was known as a pop icon. His career came to a mysterious and unexpected end when he vanished from his home in 1973. He left in his stead several annotated copies of The New York Post and a mostly-full bag of salted sunflower seeds.
