Well, there I was all set to post some good shit for the start of the year, when I heard the news that legendary Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton had been found dead in his Detroit home.There's nothing online about this as yet, and given the time difference I wouldn't expect anything for a few hours, but anyway...vale, Ron.
I will, indeed, play some fucking Stooges.
hey, where did you hear this? it's not been confirmed anywhere yet
ReplyDeleteI got it from my pal the Barman, about two hours before posting.
ReplyDeleteHe had this to say about how the news broke:
I'm back online and unhappy to say I was maybe the 4th person in the fucking world (apart from the cops who found the body) to hear the news.
Someone known to Muzz and I got a cryptic email about this time yesterday. I insisted he call the people who sent it. They were close friends of Ron's and had been concerned that he hadn't been contactable for 3 days. The cops checked out his house in Ann Arbor and called them back with the bad news.
So there you go, jimbob.
