Gimme Danger

GIMME DANGER SYNOPSIS: Emerging from Ann Arbor Michigan amidst a countercultural revolution, The Stooges’ powerful and aggressive style of rock-n-roll blew a crater in the musical landscape of the late 1960s. Assaulting audiences with a blend of rock, blues, R&B, and free jazz, the band planted the seeds for what would be called punk and alternative rock in the decades that followed. Jim Jarmusch’s new film GIMME DANGER chronicles the story of The Stooges, one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands of all time. GIMME DANGER presents the context of the Stooges emergence musically, culturally, politically, historically, and relates their adventures and misadventures while charting their inspirations and the reasons behind their initial commercial challenges, as well as their long-lasting legacy. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: No other band in rock’n’roll history has rivaled The Stooges’ combination of heavy primal throb, spiked psychedelia, blues-a-billy grind, complete with succinct angst-ridden lyrics, and a snarling, preening leopard of a front man who somehow embodies Nijinsky, Bruce Lee, Harpo Marx, and Arthur Rimbaud. There is no precedent for The Stooges, while those inspired by them are now legion. GIMME DANGER is more an 'essay' than a document. It's our love letter to possibly the greatest band in rock'n'roll history, and presents their story, their influences and their impact, complete with some never- before-seen footage and photographs. Like the Stooges and their music, GIMME DANGER is a little wild, messy, emotional, funny, primitive, and sophisticated in the most unrefined way.

According to Provost David Harris, no one was previously responsible for devel- oping and leading the university’s global strategy. Before the senior international officer position existed, Chigas said that it was not easy for Tufts-associated researchers, students and faculty to connect outside of the United States. “There’s a lot to bring together, and part of my role is to help facilitate those connections,” she said.

Before Entering Upon Mr. Rodman's Own Relation
Bibliography and Acknowledgements “Before entering upon Mr. Rodman’s own relation, it will not be improper to glance at what has been done by others, in the way of discovery…” —Edgar Allan Poe, Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine, and Monthly American Review (Philadelphia: William E. Burton) 1840. I am grateful to the persons and authors whose work I have utilized in the making of this one. The debts to M. Verne and Mr. Melville are too extensive to repay, or even adequately to acknowledge. Reading their works has made me the writer – and the person – I am today. My theft here of their creations is not something I will here try to justify. Yet it is true: the worlds that they created have become our worlds. 1 Chapter One contains language and concepts from “Concepts of Stroke Before and after Virchow” by Francis Schiller.1 Descriptions of the Soliton, staring in Chapter Two and continuing throughout, paraphrase Russell’s work on Solitary Waves.2 I’ve also drawn on the Wikipedia entry on Waves of Translation3 as well as the Heriot Watt University Department of Mathematics site.4 Chapter Two also contains specific vocabularies used by the British to render their colonial subjects as Other, as intrinsically murderous: the words Lascar, Dacoit, Dacoity, Thug, and Thuggee were appropriated from Sax Rohmer.5 Chapter Three draws from, and contains sentences from, the 1910 Encyclopedia Britannica article on the Indian Mutiny6, and from contemporaneous 1 Francis Schiller, “Concepts of Stroke Before and after Virchow” in Med.

The Legendary Stooges Axeman, 1948-2009: He Didn't Just Play the Guitar
The legendary Stooges axeman, 1948-2009: he didn't just play the guitar. BY TIM "NAPALM" STEGALL The first thing you noticed, after seeing the perfect picture of teenage delinquency in quartet form on the cover (and how much the band depicted resembles a prehistoric Ramones, if you're of a certain age), was the sound: Corrosive, brittle, brassy, seemingly untamed. It was the sound of an electric guitar being punished more than played. And the noise got particularly nasty once Mr. Guitar Flogger stepped on his wah-wah pedal. Because unlike whenever Jimi Hendrix stepped on a wah, this guitar didn't talk. It snarled and spat and attacked like a cobra. As the six string engine that drove The Stooges, Ron Asheton didn't play guitar. He played the amp. And the fuzztone. And the wah-wah pedal. In the process, he didn't just give singer Iggy Pop a sonic playground in which he could run riot and push the boundaries of then-acceptable rock stagecraft. ("Ron provided the ammo," says Rolling Stone Senior Writer David Fricke. "Iggy pulled the trigger.") Ron Asheton also changed the way rock 'n' roll was played and energized a few generations to pick up guitars themselves, creating several subgenres in the process. Ron Asheton was found dead in the wee hours of January 6, 2009, in the Ann Arbor home he and brother Scott (The Stooges' drummer) and sister Kathy (muse to a few late Sixties Detroit rockers and lyrical inspiration for The Stooges' classic "TV Eye") grew up in after the family relocated from the guitarist's native Washington, DC.
