The day that I conducted this interview, while I was holed up in a room talking with Ron Asheton about the Stooges, Los Angeles burst into flames. A couple of stupid kids setting off firecrackers in the hills started a brushfire that nearly swallowed the Hollywood sign. When I emerged afterwards, I found that the sky was smeared with ash. That night I had a dream so bad that it woke me in a cold sweat: Los Angeles was being destroyed by volcanic ash and liquid fire. People everywhere were dying.

great interview. it's cool to hear something about the stooge experience from someone other than iggy.
and what a brilliant intro! "...On one hand this scenario is the kind of self-involved lunacy that only makes sense in dreams. On the other, it's a perfect metaphor for the psychedelic nihilism that has dominated the Stooges' music from their raucous, self-titled debut in 1969..."

p.s. i have a serious crush on miss erin_broadley now.

I'm so jealous of you right now, I would give anything to see the stooges perform none the less meet on of them!

redmess: its made my day to read comments like yours. thanks for the props on the intro

Solus: like you, im excited to see the Stooges for the first time here in LA later this month. Hope your show rocks...i expect that it will!

also, for anyone interested in more SG reporting on the Stooges, check out my coverage of last month's SXSW (which includes excerpts from the Stooges press conference)
