THE TELL-TALE STOOGE

(9-19-12)    THE DARK STOOGE...2012 has been declared "YEAR OF THE BAT".  Our nocturnal brothers and sisters the BATS, the coolest and most ROCK N' ROLL of all the animals, are in trouble! For all the gory details check out:

While you're at it, groove on this rad pix of VINCENT PRICE from ( what else?) "The Bat".  Vincent Price movies, especially those made by Roger Corman and William Castle, were mandatory viewing for any cool kid in the '60's ( or now!).  You just know Jimmy O. and the Asheton boys were heavily into that guano.

HOLY IGGY CONNECTION, BATMAN!...During his 1979 tour of Europe IGGY performed LINK WRAY's arrangement of the "Batman Theme", even doing the narration.  Drummer Jackie Clarke played Robin ( "Batman, is that the Bat Signal? " ) with the IG as the Caped Crusader ( " You're F@!king right it's the F@!KING BAT SIGNAL!!! " ).  Hear it on the ubiquitous "Nuggets" CD of POP rarities.
