“I’M JUST A PERSON, A HUMAN BEING. “NO YOU’RE NOT, YOU’RE A PART OF THE MACHINE!”“

PIC INFO: Spotlight on Steve Ignorant of UK anarcho punk band CRASS at Saint Phillips Community Centre, Swansea, Wales, on September 24, 1981. 📸: Steve Rapport.

"So what if I see through the lies. So what if the people I despise Twist my arm and make me work, I’m no deaf, dumb fucking jerk, I’m no spastic lying in the street. I’m no superstar elite. I’m just a person, a human being, "No you’re not, you’re a part of the machine!”“

“Dave was way deep, way ahead of his time,” Ron Asheton, guitarist for the Stooges.

Dave Alexander, one of the founding members of the Stooges, playing his Fender Jazz Bass.  

It’s been my experience that the bassists are usually the best looking and nicest people in a band.  Unfortunately, Dave Alexander, shy and mysterious, with a fast car and an unquenchable thirst for cheap beer and liquor, literally drank himself to death at the age of 27.  Maybe it was worth it.

Mike Watt mentions Alexander by name in his song, The Angel’s Gate, on his 2004 album The Secondman’s Middle Stand, by which time Watt had replaced Alexander in the reformed Stooges. At Watt’s first performance with the Stooges at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in May 2003, he wore a Dave Alexander t-shirt in tribute.

Iggy Pop namechecks Alexander in the spoken intro to Dum Dum Boys on his album The Idiot, saying:

“How about Dave?

OD’d on alcohol”

He is often credited by Pop and was credited by the late Ron Asheton in interviews with being the primary composer of the music for the Stooges songs We Will Fall and Little Doll both songs appear on The Stooges, Dirt and 1970 (a/k/a Fun House) albums.
