Tribute to Ron Asheton

As the guitarist and co-songwriter (with Iggy Pop) for the seminal rock band The Stooges, Ron Asheton, who died in 2009, left a legacy that not only shook up the music world when the band was at its height. Seeing his friends and fellow bandmates gather to play his music before an enthusiastic crowd in his hometown of Detroit is a lot of fun; having to sit though almost 30 minutes of Henry Rollins yapping before the music starts is almost boring enough to make you stoop the DVD before the first note is played. So do yourself a huge favor and skip the Rollins and listen to the rock.
