Mike Watt, the legendary bassist from the Minutemen and currently the Stooges, has been keeping an exhaustive diary of the Stooges' tour across the US for his website.

It make for some interesting perspective about one of rock's seminal bands and has lots of tedious minutiae and name-dropping in equal measures (Eddie Vedder gave him a copy of the book Into The Wild after the Seattle show last weekend). It reads pretty long and rough, though, and Watt could benefit from an editor.

Anyway, read for yourself here.
