Iggy giving us an impression of fellow wrinkly Neil Young
Well here he is (circa late 70's), complete with old lady scarf headwear...the Godfather of Punk himself, Mr James Osterberg, otherwise known as Iggy Pop. He was 54 on April 30th 2001 and still younger than Charlie Harper can yer believe? But Iggy has witnessed and experienced far more than any sane man could endure in one lifetime. Self mutilation, drink and drug abuse, gymnastic audience injuries, mental home patient, near fatal car crashes and as Dick Vein just told me on the phone bouts of accoustic self pity. etc. The list just rolls on. This spectacular, influential and masochistic showman has had more falls than a rooky stilt walker. But he's still here today Over 30 years later to tell the story and still pumping out a live performance unequal in any other standard of rock 'n' roll and has just released yet another album.
