I’m the runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb.  
I am the world’s forgotten boy, the one who searches and destroys…”

This is at Pine Knob, just outside of Detroit. I don’t think it’s an actual tour yet. I know they played a festival in California a few weeks ago, but that was it.

I heard a tape of that show, and it sounded awesome. I hope this turns into a full blown reunion with a new record and all. I bet the BOMP lable is salivating over new “unreleased” stuff that they’re undoubtedly going to release.

I saw Mike Watt a few weeks ago. After the show, he hung around as usual and talked to the folks. Somebody asked him where he was going next and he said “I’m flying out to L.A. to play with the Stooges!” He filled in on bass for David Alexander (who died in the 70’s) at the Coachella Festival. His web site doesn’t mention any new dates with the Stooges, so I assume they’re getting another bassist. I could do it. I know all the songs already. But they didn’t call me. Why didn’t they call me!?!

The New York Times review of the Stooges set at the Coachella Festival said (paraphrasing from memory) “It became obvious to me that most of punk rock is a variation on a theme, and that theme is the first two Stooges albums.”

sonic youth are one of my absolute favourite bands ever, and iggy (and the stooges) ain’t far behind. I’m jealous. 🙂

would it kill them to do a show in Sweden too? 😛
