DESPERATELY SEEKING STOOGES

      (8-17-2012) JUSTIFY MY COOL...Happy B-Day ( 8/16 ) to MADONNA LOUISE CICCONE.  When she was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame she had the STOOGES play her songs live in her stead.  RON, ever the cynic, thought she was doing it just so she could bask in what RON called that " STOOGE'S SHINE". Ultimate STOOGE coolness aside, I  hope RON said that with a little smile on his face...methinks it  was a pretty cool thing for her to do no matter how you look at it.  She could of gotten someone like Lady GaGa to do it, after all.  Besides, she got to hang with Burroughs, so who needs cool?

   BTW...STOOGE bass thumper MIKE WATT was in a group with members of Sonic Youth called Ciccone Youth who did Madonna covers. 
P.S.What do you get when you mix Burroughs' and Madonna's books?   A Naked Lunch, of course!
