The quintessential punk rock performer Iggy Pop is also a remarkably entertaining interviewee on the evidence of this hour-plus collection, in which he wittily and intelligently discusses topics as varied as his legendarily bloody performances in Detroit, his later Berlin sojourn, and his improbably lengthy survival in rock & roll.
Tracklist
Iggy Pop
James Osterberg began his musical career in 1964, playing in various Detroit bands but most famously in the Iguanas, where he acquired the nickname Iggy Pop. Inspired by the dirty sound of Chicago blues, a Doors live performance, and garage-band aesthetics, Pop formed the hugely influential proto-punk band the Stooges, combining primal rock power with an explosive, often violent stage show. Splitting up the band in 1974, Pop relocated to Berlin, and with the help of admirer David Bowie, kickstarted his long, successful solo career. Remaining an icon of the old-school punk-rock guard, Iggy Pop continues to record, and has also acted in films such as Jim Jarmusch's DEAD MAN and John Waters's CRY BABY.
