Thanks for info on the TV stuff...I like the first Stooges album too, it's
just that I think the Ashetons are better on Fun House...Though all of the
songs on each of the first two albums are equally great...Raw Power is just
better in my opinion. James Williamson kicks ass (I've said that before to
someone and they laughed)...He's not a virtuoso or anything, just a freakin'
hard guitar player...
