Iggy and the Stooges: At the Whisky a Go Go, Hollywood

The Stooges have made the Comeback of the Year, no doubt about it, and their energized stay at the Whisky sealed it. The night before they opened, I got into an argument with a friend who had played the grooves off of Fun House in years past, and yet couldn't be talked into going to see the Stooges. His argument was logical, but perverse: "Look, it's all this 1969 Detroit shit that was great in its time, but this is 1973. They're washed up."
