Stooges drummer [Scott Asheton dies at the age of 64](http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/mar/17/stooges-drummer-scott-asheton-dies-aged-64). Rest in peace, Scott, you were one of the greats. I’ll play _Funhouse_ tonight, loudly.

Anyway RIP Scott, those Stooges albums in particular will live forever.
