- marcomanuel, thanks for your comment. Yes, i am sure you heard many stories of the tabloid version thru the grapevine. Losing Jackson killed my spirit, my soul, my will to live for a while and thus I went thru a decade of some reallly brutal shit. I just thank God I made it back. Most of us dont . At least two of my best friends were brutally murdered and i wondered why God left me here...then i realized it was time to wake up. Jackson and no one would have wanted this for me.. So this past year I have slowly been awakening , remembering what a good life is like, quit blaming myself...etc. But you know, not a day has gone by that you have not beeen in my thoughts and I wish onl;y the best of life for you to my friend. My mom still asks if i ever hear from you. But for a long time no one even would mention old friends or anything even related to b-town for many years. I was very fragile for quite some time. looking back I truly cannot believe after all of the drama since i left b-town rthat i am still alive (and this is not melodrama) . This is an ugly, hard place up here and I had to get street smart fast. but it took some hard knocks to learn (thank God Im a quick learner). Im leaving all that behind now. Niccop-Noelle just left for college last Thursday. She still hates me over everything. But i love her so much and am so proud of her. She won a 4 year full ride academic scholarship to any university in Indiana private or state. She got accepted to IU Bloomington and everywhere else she applied. Then because of her friends all going to Ball State she chose to go there. I really wanted her to get her degree from IU, but she might transfer yet--who knows? Bre is a schoolcounselor now at Warren Central and told me there was no way Nicco would get admitted to IU, they were turning down valedictorians (females all of course). But Noelle won so many awards, was so active and did so much volunteer and service work for those even less fortunate that her, that I knew she'd get accepted, All 4 years of high school she never was less than 7th in her class. Thats my girl. She hates me now, but with 90% of personality and brain development complete by age two I silently pat myself on the back. She just doesn't realize...you too had a had in her early years. If she continues along the path she is on now, the sky is the limit. Toby 2 is way talented in music, thats his gig, taught himself guitar and piano. Got him a Les Paul Epiphone for xmas. But he loves me and is my protector (about 5 inches taller than his dad now!) OK enough rambling. Help me out here, how can I post pics from my phone onto my page? Any tips? I am clueless.......All my love,nicole

KC FICK! said… - The Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton found dead at 60
Tuesday, January 6, 2009 12:00 PM EST
The Associated Press
By BEN LEUBSDORF Associated Press Writer
DETROIT (AP) — Ron Asheton, the guitarist for the Stooges whose raw sound helped inspire the first generation of punk musicians, has died. He was 60.
Asheton was found at his Ann Arbor home early Tuesday morning by police officers after they were called by an associate who had not heard from him in several days, said city police Sgt. Brad Hill.
There were no signs of foul play, and the death appeared to be of natural causes, Hill said.
Asheton was a founding member of the Stooges, the influential protopunk band formed in Ann Arbor in 1967, along with his brother, Scott.
Lead singer Iggy Pop called Asheton "my best friend" in a statement Tuesday, and the band expressed shock at his death.
"For all that knew him behind the facade of Mr. Cool & Quirky, he was a kind-hearted, genuine, warm person who always believed that people meant well even if they did not," the band said in a written statement. "As a musician Ron was The Guitar God, idol to follow and inspire others. That is how he will be remembered by people who had a great pleasure to work with him, learn from him and share good and bad times with him."
Asheton's powerful, distorted guitar on songs like "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "T.V. Eye" was a hallmark of the group's sound. His "technically adept but also beautifully raw" style was heavily influenced by free jazz and created "beauty out of noise," said Brian Cogan, a punk-music historian at Molloy College on New York's Long Island.
"He invents the template for punk-rock guitar," Cogan said. "He's the one who allows Johnny Ramone and the guys in the Dictators to play the way they do."
When he was named the 29th greatest guitarist of all time in 2003 by Rolling Stone, the magazine described Asheton as "the Detroit punk who made the Stooges' music reek like a puddle of week-old biker sweat."
After recording three albums in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Stooges split and Iggy Pop went on to a successful solo career. Asheton played guitar for bands including the New Order, New Race, Destroy All Monsters and Dark Carnival.
In 2003, Asheston reunited with the rest of the Stooges and a new album, "The Weirdness," was released in 2007.
Russ Gibb, who owned Detroit's legendary Grande Ballroom and gave the Stooges their first major show there in 1968, said Asheton was a gentleman in all of their dealings.
"Wherever he is today, it's a better place because he's there," Gibb said Tuesday. "He was a gentleman musician. The musicland that you and I live in has lost something today and wherever musicians go, they're better today because he's there."
Ronald Asheton was born July 17, 1948, in Washington, D.C.
He is survived by his sister Kathy and his brother Scott, who is The Stooges' drummer.
