Ron Asheton Says
I play guitar
Don’t call me
Iggy’s right-hand man
I was always into Nazi shit
doing Hitler speeches
and wearing SS pins
at Ann Arbor High School
Don’t call me
Fat Beatle
They tucked my Iron Cross
medal under my leather
for the jacket photo
of our first album
the stooges
damn I was juiced
that Elektra Records dropped
the Psychedelic lame
part of our band name
I was into wearing nazi regalia
at all our shows
a Jewish fan came up to me
crying Why are you doing this?
I told him Aren’t you glad
the Nazis lost so a freak
like me can wear this?
Well I guess I was
Iggy’s best-man
at his first wedding
when he married
a Jewish chick
and I showed up
wearing a Luftwaffe
fighter pilot’s jacket
our Jewish manager
officiated
