DIRT


   (8-30-12)  SUCK WITH THIS...On this day in 1901 British engineer Hubert Cecil Booth patented the first motorized VACUUM CLEANER. Household appliances were an important part of the PSYCHEDELIC STOOGES first shows back in '67.  Along with playing the vacuum IGGY used a modified blender (renamed "The Osterizer") to create waterfall like sound effects. When chillin' out in the mid '80's from the wild ROCK N'ROLL lifestyle IGGY found great comfort in everyday domestic activities like vacuuming.
   FUN QUOTE:  John Sinclair on trying to promote the STOOGES:  " The Stooges weren't something you could send a promo kit on; sending out a demo tape would be like sending them a vacuum cleaner."
