ABBA & The Stooges -- Finally!













1970 rollin' in sight . . .

Finally, Iggy & The Stooges will make it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. As will ABBA and Jimmy Cliff. Woo-hoo! It's about time, it's about space, it's about sonic all over the place.

Congrats, dudes! Iggy's responses have been funny, as one expects from the "Godfather of Punk." Can't wait to see 'em live again.



She gotta a TV Eye on me . . .

Today's Rune: Partnership.

Abba and Iggy, a match made in...?
I've been telling my kids that Lady Gaga should team up with the Goo Goo Dolls, for a "Gaga Goo Goo" tour. They don't seem to think that's funny.

JC,
How 'bout Abbagiggy? Has a nice sound to it.

Finally, Iggy gets his props. Too bad the Carnival Cruise Line uses one of his songs for their television commercials.

Alright ABBA it's about damn time!

JR,
I also noticed ads for the George Clooney movie "Up in the Air" are using Iggy's "The Passenger". Hopefully he gets royalties from these things.

Oh Lord, I've eggs on my plate . . .

Thanks all for the comments! JC, haha -- will dig out some more concert tix, this reminds me.

Still not sure what a Lady Gaga is, but The Runaways looks promising. And where is Amy Winehouse?

Holy Shit! That's awesome! I hadn't heard that yet. I'm celebrating by playing "1969" way too loud!

I'm sorry that Ron Asheton wasn't around for this. But I am happy that I was able to see the Stooges in 2007, while Asheton was still alive.
