when they had to go out
and play for white people.
And, uh, and it was a thrill
for me and I learned a lot.
[music continues]
It was more relaxed.
They knew how to have a good time.
And the music
was... very definite.
I saw a little glimpse
of a deeper life of people
who in their adulthood
had not lost their childhood.
[music continues]
I smoked a big joint
one day by the river
and realized that I was not black.
for our generation
what the good black players
that I loved were doing for theirs.
[music continues]
Eventually, I just got tired of looking
at somebody's butt all the time.
[chuckling]
That's your-that's,
that's your curse.
The best butt I ever played
the two best butts I ever played behind
were Abdul Fakir,
in "The Four Tops."
He was the Four Top that would unify
the other in their,
He was, he was like
a ba-large bird.
And the other one was Mary Weiss
from "The Shangri-Las."
Wonderful body and face.
Delicious, creamy, female dream thing.
He don't hang around

I realized drumming
wasn't what I wanted to do
so I decided to go back to Ann Arbor
but I needed a ride home.
So I called Ron
and somehow Scott Richardson had a car

Ron Asheton was a musician.
He was one of the few people
that had longer hair than me.
He was playing bass
occasionally with a band
called "The Chosen Few"
and I really like his style on bass.
I met his brother, Scott, later
when I was working at Discount Records.
Across the street, there was a drugstore
called Marshall's.
And Scott and a couple of guys
hung out inside this drugstore
doing nothing.
One young tough and his friends.
Good-looking, athletic-looking

Scott left school after the ninth grade.

Mm-hmm.
things to ask you...
- Oh, I see.. Get it going.
- Just, just to talk to you.
(Iggy) So I taught him,
like, four or five beats.
Mostly, uh, Stax, Volt
and Bo Diddley stuff.
(Scott) My name is Scotty Asheton.
I go to Garfield School.
I'm eight and a half years old.
(Ron)
Hmm! My name is Ronny Asheton.
I'm nine years old.
My.. I go to Garfield school.
(Iggy) They lost their dad when,
uh, I-I think Ron was 14.
