Iggy and the Stooges, or the MC5… Who were the real runaway sons of the nuclear A-bomb?

By Mark | February 22, 2012

Iggy Pop had some nice words to share today about Michael Davis, the bass player for the MC5, who just passed away a few days ago. Here’s what Pop, who got his real start in the music business opening for the MC5 in Detroit, had to say: For me, Michael was the original cool guy. […]

Notes on last night’s Stooges show

By Mark | April 20, 2011

One of the cool things about being Facebook friends with Niagra from Destroy All Monsters is that she shares interesting videos. A few days ago, she posted a a clip from an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies featuring a young, very much alive Sharon Tate kissing Max “Jethro” Baer behind of the back of an […]
