I feel lucky to have seen this massively influential band live, Ron Asheton pioneered an exciting style of guitar playing, often imitated but never bettered. Everyone talks about Iggy but I Wanna Your Dog, No Fun, 1969, Raw Power etc. etc. would not be the anthems that they are without him. My thoughts go to his family and the rest of The Stooges. RIP
