This Thursday July 14, 5:30pm at London’s Scala Cinema I’ll be helping in unveiling a blue plaque in honor of Lou Reed, Iggy & the Stooges + Mick Rock and the one-two punch of their game changing concerts there in 1972 as seen on the Raw Power and Transformer LP jackets. Bar open with Lou and Stooges music til 9pm. Gimme danger!
