Interviewed by Chairman Ralph

Chairman Ralph (Heibutzki) interviewed me about my book The Music and Noise of the Stooges, 1967-71: Lost in the Future (Routledge, 2022), and the Stooges more generally, on his site.

Here is the link to the interview.

Ralph wrote an extensive article on the Stooges back in 1995 (published in Goldmine), and it was great to have the opportunity to bounce ideas off of him and his expertise.  In fact, he had also let me use extracts from his interview with Ron Asheton for my book.

We get into some of the things I write about there, and the tone is informal and conversational.  I didn’t even realize Ralph was recording till about midway through. 

Many thanks to Ralph.
