I heard about that yesterday. Terrible news. Everyone go out and play one or all of the following: The Stooges, Fun House and Raw Power.
Read about Ron's death this morning, how sad. He was one of the original punk guitarist. I was lucky enough to see the Stooges in the early 70's and then again when they toured about 1 1/2 years ago at a small club in Chicago and then again that summer at lollapolloza. Raw Power Baby!
You'll be missed but your music will live forever!
