I don't know much about the guy but do know that not many were doing what the Stooges were doing back then.

Yeah, well, you know how I feel about dem Stooges.

Yeah, I thought of you immediately.  That Iggy bio I read this summer basically ended with Ron Asheton home alone in Michigan, drinking and eating himself to death, and Iggy taking no responsibility for kicking him to the curb in favor of Williamson.  Good to see that they reconciled.

Which bio was that?

I read Pop Life, which was kinda fluffy, and I have some Danny Sugarman book I got at a yard sale that is the seamy side of various rockers including Ig, but still haven't read.
