Phat Mack Eyeballs The Flicks

  Gimme Danger People talk about how important and influential The Stooges were, but in the end, you gotta let The Stooges be The Stooges. MC-5: check. Ann Arbor, N.Y., L.A.: check. "I don't remember getting arrested": check. Nico: check. Communists: check. Junkies: check. Taxi drivers: check. Silicon Valley Sony executive: check. Took themselves seriously: not so much. All rock movements start out as music, generate fashion statements, then descend into business. The Stooges resisted. They also provide a sterling example of how we should conduct ourselves in these troubled times. Mandatory viewing for all anarchists.
