Someone ripped off The Stooges. And Mike Watt.

The Stooges

I got a myspace bulletin today that really sucks ass. I just blogged about the Stooges — specifically that Raw Power was runner-up on my all-time top 10 record list — so, I felt I’d do what they asked at the bottom of the bulletin: PLEASE FORWARD AS FAR AND WIDE AND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!!!

Take a look at some of the equipment the assholes ripped off.

IGGY AND THE STOOGES
EQUIPMENT STOLEN ON AUGUST 4, 2008

  1. i remember reading a story about fred roger’s car being stolen and the local news doing a story about it the same evening. the next day mr. roger’s car was returned with an apology note. we can only hope that someone has enough respect for the rock and iggy to do the same thing.
