Christ, not until seeing Mike Watt's name mentioned just now did it occur to me: That's the SECOND time he's had his guitarist-bandmate die on him. :(

Edward, one of these kids would be the Dusty-Dusty fan? Or has she moved beyond Russian literature?

Not to say that I have.

Iggy saying that Ron was his best friend is pretty touching -- and it rings true, too, even if they weren't in touch for a long time before this reunion. Listening to the beginning of "TV Eye" this week, it started to sound like the ultimate musical friendship -- like someone asking "If your best friend jumped off a bridge, would you?" And Ron answering: "Fuck yes, I would."
