Ron Asheton's body was found in his Ann Arbor, MI home today. Apparently, it had been there a few days. Details are still pending, but initial reports are saying it was a heart attack. I am filled with great sadness as I write this - needless to say, the Stooges are one of my all-time favorite bands, and Ron Asheton was always my favorite Stooge. I always thought that he never really got his due, considering his role in birthing what became punk rock.
