Video- Iggy Pop inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Some other people too, but they just make me feel old. Iggy on the other hand looks pretty damn good for a guy almost 63.

Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton found dead

Aw man, I'm going to have to tell Jeff and I'm guessing he won't take this well. He grew up in AA and knew the Stooges peripherally. Damn.

Ron Asheton, the influential guitarist for legendary punk band the Stooges, was found dead early this morning at his home in Ann Arbor, police said.

The Stooges was founded in 1967 in Ann Arbor by Iggy Pop, Asheton and Ron Asheton’s brother, Scott. It is among the most important rock groups to have emerged from the Detroit area, a place that’s seen more than its share. The band was never a commercial success in its late 1960s and early ‘70s heyday, but the Stooges’ raw guttural sound helped create the template for punk rock, and later became hugely influential in the alternative-rock revolution of the late 1980s and early ‘90s.
