SINGLE OF THE MONTH


 (8-1-12) NOWHERE WITH A BULLET!..A new feature here at the Blooge! Criteria: A fabulous A-side with an equally bitchen/interesting/rare B-side. Plus a cool picture sleeve and some vague IG connect.

The STOOGES' first 45 changed everything. After appearances on Ed Sullivan, the Smothers Brothers, and the Carol Burnett shows the single shot straight to number one, securing the band a headlining gig at Woodstock where after taking the brown acid IGGY threw up all over Abbie Hoffman and...actually, the single and LP went nowhere fast. Most people, if they knew about the band at all, hated them and thought they were a bad joke. Hippy DJ's wrote " dogshit" on the STOOGES" LP covers and used them as frisbees. Maybe the STOOGES should have named themselves  
"Gandalf's Disciples" or "Hobbit's Holiday" or something...
Another year with nuthin' to do...
