Aw, dude. Iggy’s my man! I’ve actually been listening to a lot of his music lately and finding sound and film clips of interviews. The guy is very good, but he coulda been a contender if he hadn’t wasted so much time and energy w/drugs. He owes a debt of gratitude to Bowie for whatever he’s been able to salvage of a career.

And for a mug shot, Bowie is still beautful.

Gotta agree. Iggy and heroin were good friends for far too long. Bowie was one of his few visitors in the mental hospital he'd checked himself into to get straight.

I just caught this little nugget from his Wikipedia entry - Pop is one of the few famous popular musicians to have published in an established journal of Classical scholarship: his article Caesar Lives in the second Volume of Classics Ireland (1995) considers the applicability of Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire to the modern world.

OK, that's pretty cool.
