Four Stooges.

Stooges guitarist Scott Asheton was found dead in his house today, of apparent natural causes at 60. I guess there are two of the original Stooges left. Iggy and Ron’s brother, Scott. Seems like the bass player died a few years back, can’t remember his name.

Says something funny about the median age of the NPR listener that they played a snippet of “Search and Destroy” as the piece faded smoothly into some kind of Prudential retirement ad. American punk rawk moves into the elder hostel.
