Iggy Pop and The Stooges pay tribute to Ron Asheton

Iggy Pop calls guitarist 'my best friend'

It's especially sad that he should die now when it's only the past few years that he's been really getting all the recognition, opportunities (and money) he missed out on for so many years. (I remember when The Stooges were interviewed on Jonathan Ross last year, Ron mentioned he'd JUST bought his first ever new car.) And it's sad that he and Iggy went so long not talking or being close, only to have Ron pass away when they got to be best friends again, playing great shows together and really getting along. No wonder Iggy's in shock. It's really really sad.
