To quote the title of a Stooges song, this is simply not right. On the morning of Aug. 5, Iggy Pop and his cohorts awoke in Montreal, Canada to find all of their instruments and equipment -- not to mention the truck that was holding the gear -- had been stolen over the night. As of yet, there hasn't been any word on how the theft will affect the Stooges' continued touring plans, but we of course wish them luck in finding the pilfered goods, and you can click here for more information on the robbery.
