Stooges Reunion 2007 Warfield Poster

Yesterday morning brought sad news to the rock community, as Ron Asheton, guitarist and bassist for The Stooges, was found dead. Another rock stars dies alone in his home, only to be found days later…so sad.

I had just picked up the above poster at Amoeba last week- one that I had missed when I went to see The Stooges on their reunion tour in 2007. Really glad I did that.
