IGGY & THE STOOGES at Roskilde

The garage rock legends are back!   
Roskilde '04 welcomes raw and genuine garage power:
Iggy & The Stooges.

Their career as the forefathers of punk rock and the inventors of
garage rock goes all the way back to the early 70's when Iggy Pop 
and The Stooges achieved cult status all over the world with three
far-sighted albums and intense touring. It was pure, provocative punk
in a hippy era, that is with super raw, wild and striking
performances.

Now after three decades The Stooges are together again. The
grapewine has it that The Stooges on their on-going tour are
delivering the pure, raw goods like never before with Iggy Pop as
the energetic front man.

Best regards

DUTCH TO CONSIDER OUTLAWING "Killer Weed"

Yes boys and girls, in some minds resembling the ignorance
and stupidity of american lawmakers and law enforcers, some
in the dutch government want to ban so called "nederweit"...

http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/334/nederwiet.shtml

seems some dumb-asses will never learn, the "drug-war"
involving hemp does not, has not, nor will ever, work.

Then too, if you were making a good salary with benefits, paid
for by the people, and were able to run family defined crony
rackets, steal people's property, ruin their reputations and
lives, use deadly force in enforcing laws regarding non-violent
crimes, you'd not want it to stop either, would ya?
