The Stooges are a band full of freaks that never could play a single note right until they were 40. Nuff said. No not really there's a lot more. Basically one day Iggy Pop walked into a porn shop (like it wasn't the first time) and saw local nerd Ron Asheton polishing dildos on aisle 3. The reason people thought Asheton was a nerd was that he had big glasses. According to an interview, he said he got them from his "gram gram"(what a soft cock). The reason he had the glasses was to protect his eyes from semen while he was masturbating. So Iggy and Ron start talking and out of the blue there came the thought that they should form a band. And the rest is history that isn't really important.
