Stooges Storm Sin City

(While the Stooges were out on the West Coast to do their second album, they decided to play a couple of gigs. The first was a gala press reception at the Whiskey Au-Go-Go, with wall-to-wall media, including Andy Warhol and entourage. Andy split in the middle of the set, why no one really knows, but it definitely wasn’t because he had any trouble with old wounds (at least not physically).

L. A. is possibly the only other place in the world that could have nurtured a band like the Stooges (though it would then produce Alice Cooper actually) and it seemed only fitting to have a little note on the Stooges in the land of the plasticburger. So here it is. - Ed.)

The Stooges were a dare. We’ve heard of you, now let’s see how great you are. We’ve seen the best at the Whiskey Au-Go-Go. We’ve seen Little Richard swagger on out and Morrison fall. off the stage. Dare you Detroit boys to do better.
