Rhino Records put out a box set of the "Fun House" sessions back in 1999 or 2000. It was really good.
Iggy's still a "real wild child", bless his heart.

Its very cool that the article includes mp3 links!
"THERE are the Stooges, from Ann Arbor, Mich., accidental inventors of punk..."
News to the Ramones...
For a rather amusing read, check out his contract rider:

In 1970 his name was Iggy Stooge.
Living just a few miles north of AA, even the NYT doesn't know the half of it. So many so, that the place swings statewide elections.
I find that very hard to believe. (snicker,,laugh)
He was on Letterman years ago claiming that he was a scratch golfer. Is that even close to true?????
There's a great scene in Coffee and Cigarettes with Iggy and Tom Waits.
He's just now 60?
He looked 60 20 years ago.
I'm A Conservative Lyrics
Artist: Iggy Pop
Album: Soldier
I used to lead a quiet life
In fact it was a bare existence
I passed out on many floors
I don't do that any more
Hello my friends
Is everybody happy?
Hey look me over
lend me an ear
I'm a conservative
I like the small black marks on my hands
I'm a conservative
I like the crazy girls that I screw
Hey I know them all well
And when I run out of bread I laugh
All the way to the bank
Sometimes I pause for a drink
Conservatism ain't no easy job
I smile in the mornings
I live without a care
Nothing is denied me
And nothing ever hurts
I got bored so I'm making my millions
When you're conservative you get a better break
You're always on the right side
When you're conservative
You walk with pride
Pride is on your side
Pride pride pride
Is on our side
Oh boy
Pride is on our side
I like my beer
I like my bread
I love my girl
I love my head
I'm in the clear man
I'm in the dear
Because I'm a conservative
I'm a conservative
I really am
Oh yes l am
And it would mean so much to me
If you would only be like me
Yes it could mean so much to me
Hey look me over
lend me an ear
I'm a conservative
Iggy made music? Who knew? I thought he was just a wacked out personality that dated Ziggy Stardust.
