Guitar legend Ron Asheton died recently; after about 30 years of a fairly low-profile career, the man who played those amazingly brutal and beautiful guitar parts on Fun House finally began to reap the rewards of his primitive genius. He played 150 shows, worldwide, with the reformed Stooges. I took this photo in 1973 at the now-shuttered Ford Theater in Detroit. Asheton had, by then, been usurped to the bass chair by new Stooge James Williamson.
