Live Review of In Store Concert of J MAscis:
Time/Place: 5PM: J MASCIS @ Tower Records (2402 Guadalupe)
Well, J’s publicist, the one and only Thanh Thanh Dang (!) , told me Ron Asheton would not be playing this gig, but lo and behold and shades of Iggy Poop, there was the fat man again! Not only did the Ash-ton play with Mike Watt, but they only played Stooges songs. "1969", "No Fun", "Loose", "Not Right", "TV Eye", "Down The Street" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog"… and J didn’t even sing! How about that? The man does an in-store performance to showcase his new record, then doesn’t play any songs off of it. Mike Watt sang all the vocals! Then J did a record signing! He’s got Dinosaur (Jr) balls!! At the end of the set, some floozy got on stage and danced along to the Iggy-isms, showing off her beautiful unshaved pits. Thanh thanh told me to videotape this "rock and roll moment" so i obliged (see pic). No fun!
