And their father had been

a fighter pilot in the war

and stayed in the military

shortly after the war

was something we all had in common.

(Ron)

...two, one, zero, dive!

[Ron imitating siren wailing]

My dad was a World War II veteran.

On his travels, he would buy

a little something

like a dagger or a medal.

And then I got interested in it.

And we started collecting.

And that was like a father and son..

We found something to bond with.

It had nothing to do with politics

or what it stood for.

That's pretty oddball that you're buying

your eight year old son Nazi stuff.

[laughing]

My name is Kathy Asheton.

I go to Garfield School.

I'm in second grade.

That's all, folks.

(Kathy)

I-I was standing on our porch

and noticed this guy walking

into the neighborhood with long hair.

And so I said to Scotty,

"Why don't you flag him down

and see who he is," you know?

And he whistled down Dave Alexander

who it turned out to be.

And so Scotty met him

then Ronny ended up meeting with him.

And they were the ones

that gravitated more together

because of the, the commonality

of their interest

in the British music.

(Iggy) Ron cut his

senior year in school.

Dave sold his motorcycle

and flew to England

and they saw "The Who" play.

They went to the Marquee Club in London

and they stayed

until that money ran out.

And that's what really

set me on the path.

Because when I came back,

I tried to go back to school

and I just really didn't fit in.

And Ann Arbor was still frat boys.

There's not a lot of us.

And my counselor even said,

"Well, why don't you just

"take the rest of the year off

and try to come back

next year?"

And I'm going, "Yeah, okay."

But then going back

next year, forget it.

Next year you can plan

for higher success, Bill.

Yes. Thanks, Miss Evans.

Plan for higher success.

[drum roll]

(female #1) Tape is rolling,

any time you're ready

They had had the concept of a band

called "The Dirty Shames"

and that was basically

something they would tell people

when they met people

at a party or something.

"Yeah-yeah, we got a band, we're

called "The Dirty Shames.""

There was a period when "The Stooges"

resembled "The Dirty Shames."

In that we, we decided

we had a band,

we told people we had a band

but we hadn't really done any playing.

At one point, there was a trip

we made to New York

and we met some attractive

girls... teenagers.

Younger than us.

Who said they had a band.

And we-we drove to Princeton,

New Jersey

to see these girls play in a basement.

And they were just...

lived with their parents.

And they were very, very good.

And they were much better than us.
