[kj] FW: Now Here's a Reunion Tour!

[Alexander Smith]

Sorry, Mel -- but Oliver did invoke the J&MC, so I'm following that  
tangent.

In regards to his Igness, I'd slavishly love to attend the Stooges  
show (Dave Gingoblin? You comin' to the NYC gig?). I must sadly  
confess to never seeing Iggy play live --- even when my beloved Cop  
Shoot Cop were opening for him (circa AMERICAN CAESER).

I *did* see Iggy having a drink at Sin-e when it was on St.Mark's  
Place back in the 90's. He was only living a couple blocks away at  
the time (as later detailed on his somewhat yawnsome "jazz" album,  
AVENUE B). I was chatting with some friends, walking West and  
suddenly, sitting right by the door was Iggy, sitting on a bar stool,  
enjoying a pint. "Holy Shit, it's IGGY!" I exclaimed. The great man  
looked at us, smiled broadly and gave us a thumbs up. We kept walking.

To see Ig with the Brothers Asheton? I'd pay long dollars for that.  
Quite curious to hear the record.

Alex in NYC
