| A Real Wild Child. |
Iggy Pop, outrageous singer of songs, bare-chested howler and roarer.
The hop, the swagger, the wild sweaty scream ushered in proto-punk while many bands of the late 60's and early 70's were still shedding their flower people bandannas.
Iggy has never received the acclaim he deserved.
Rabidly original, widely influential, nonetheless the public has never known quite what to do with him. He smiles too much, shies a bit like he's scared of his crowd - then proceeds to sear our ears with biting, punishing words. He's too tough to pigeonhole, and that makes people nervous.
He deserves more. Give him a listen. Start with Fun House, on a day when you can turn it up in an empty house and stomp a little bit.
Iggy may surprise you, but he won't let you down.
