1. Gotta love Iggy

I'm going to have to put "L.A. Blues" on my show tonight..

5. DO IT

I'm one of a couple thousand sick bastards who bought "1970: The Complete Funhouse Sessions" when it came out on Rhino Handmade five years ago. Basically, it's every take, every studio aside, every noise that came out of the Funhouse sessions, collected on seven CDs. It's in heavy rotation tonight at my humble abode.

Are 50+ versions of "Loose" too many? NEVER! :headbang:

2. Iggy can carve...

A Thanksgiving Turkey very well. Which was a concern of mine when he picked up the knife. I am sure you can understand my concern. ;-)

9. He's pretty good at rubbing peanut butter on himself too

IIRC he did that for a "Midnight Special" in 1969 or 1970, during the first and best incarnation of the Stooges (Ashton bros + Dave Alexander + Pop).

The "Raw Power" version of the group is okay and all, but the Stooges Mk I had a shambling amateurness that I find highly appealing.

3. Terri Gross..

... did a "Fresh Air" interview with him last week. Was fun, I'd never heard him speak before. He didn't say anything earth-shaking, but then why should he? He's done enough to shake the earth :)

4. GREAT interview!

Iggy (aka Jim Osterberg) is one of the most down-to-earth pop stars on earth. David Bowie owes his entire post- "Space Oddity" career to him, IMHO.

If not for Iggy, there'd be no Ziggy. Bowie may have "saved" Jim after the Stooges blew up for the second time, but it's the least he could do, considering Bowie would've been just another airy-fairy English folk singer if not for Jim.

I'm on a Stooges kick tonight. It started w/ "Join Hands" by the Banshees and has slowly devolved to "Funhouse".

Too bad I don't drink anymore. Guess it'll have to be proto-punk instead. :D

8. I'm not an Iggy guy, I guess, but that was a decent interview

I was expecting someone relatively incoherent, and he surprised me repeatedly. Book by the cover and all that. He has a good sense of humor and is reasonably articulate.

There was that one part, where Terry was talking about how ripped he was, low bodyfat and all, and I'm like, "It's called HEROIN, Terry!" I suppose he's clean these days, I dunno, but every pic I've ever seen, dude is like 0.01% bodyfat.

10. He's been clean since the 70s IIRC

He did "golf therapy" and detox after the Raw Power Stooges broke up around 1975 or so. He's older than my mom! But I think he has a naturally high metabolism/high energy level, plus he takes fairly good care of himself, too.

Jim's very intelligent. His dad was a community college teacher, and IIRC his mother taught high school. He grew up in a trailer park outside Ann Arbor, MI.

11. Man, I'm behind the times

Clean since the '70s? I'm too judgemental. I haven't even been clean since last night. Thanks for enlightening me. (Must learn to shut up about things I know nothing about.)

[no name no slogan]

12. no problems. I would have thought the same thing

the only reason I assume it's true is because he's damn near 60 and still alive, and in great physical shape. If Pop had put 1/2 the stuff into him they say he has he would have been dead 20 years ago.

However, he has still been known to take a roll thru jagged glass once in a while, so he's still a "little" sick :P

6. Did anybody see the punk theme night on IFC

a few nights back? In particular, the documentary called "Punk: Attitude." It ran through everybody from the MC5 and Iggy on up. There was more than one band I'd never heard of, and I thought I was at least halfway paying attention.

[no name no slogan]

7. I missed it, but I know the documentary

At least they gave props to the MC5 and the Stooges. So many people seem to think that punk started in London or New York, when it really came out of the midwest and pacific northwest (the Kingsmen, The Sonics, Paul Revere, etc).
