Assuming it isn't a spoof, I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Having seen the Hammersmith 'Fun House' gig in '05, I will do pretty much anything to see a 'Raw Power' equivalent...
Believe me, you haven't been to a concert until you've been to a Stooges concert...

I've seen the Stooges with Ron, but Mr Williamson has been working as a senior exec at Microsoft for the last 20 odd years and is doing this after taking early retirement. In fact Will Hodgkinson interviewed him for his book 'Guitar Man' and he said he didn't even play anymore. Hmmm.

A big hmmm. The Stooges shouldn't be still playing, it's just wrong on so many levels.

Not as wrong as the rehashed WHO. so sad... At least Iggy still rocks.
