BAD SCENE


(9-27-12, Part 2) SEX AND THE SINGLE STOOGE...The STOOGES opened for Ten Years After at the Boston Tea Party in mid-September  of '69. IGGY complained about TYA's audience, calling them "collegiate" and into "guitar worship". But further research reveals another reason for The IG's animosity toward TYA and their fans. Apparently the Bostonian groupies preferred their targets to be English and popular rather than unknown  (to them) mid-western weirdos. IGGY and the band were used to a lot of easy action on their home turf, but on this night they weren't getting any. However, the rest of the STOOGES took it all in stride...it just gave them more time to get into that " real O mind ".
