Sad news today that Ron Asheton, guitarist for the Stooges, passed away at his home in the Motor City. He was 60 years old.
I trust any self-respecting Contrarian follower will have already spent many late, sloppy nights with Iggy and the Ashetons. If, however, any of you out there aren’t deeply familiar with the Stooges records (well, except for the last one) you are wasting your time reading this post. In an increasingly hype-heavy world these boys deserve every slobber.
RIP, Ron.

Thanks for getting this up here, man. I kept forgetting to post it. Definitely trumps the possible nomination of Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General.

A close second at least… And ’bout time I posted to the new site.
