Talk:Iggy Pop
Has anyone actually read this article all the way through? It is in dire need of clean up and re-organization.
Seems to me the speech mentionned was actually from the CBC's "90 Minutes Live" program hosted by Peter Gzowski (original broadcast date March 11th 1977)
--- E.g. neither "Lust for life" nor "The Passenger" were written specifically for the Trainspotting soundtrack but years before and in Lust's case not even by Iggy himself... --Ft. Jack Hackett 18:32, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
The previous version of the article transribed the interview with Iggy saying "I don't know if Johnny rots". After listening to this interview twice I am convinced that this is wrong... Iggy clearly pronounces 'Rotten' and not rots...

The article says: "In 2003, having enjoyed working with Ron and Scott Asheton on Skull Ring, Iggy reformed the Stooges with bassist Mike Watt (formerly of Social Distortion) . . ."
Isn't Mike Watt a founding member (and former member) of the Minutemen (as well as a solo artist), but not a former member of Social Distortion?
A quick glance at the Wikipedia Social Distortion article doesn't mention Mr Watt as a member of that orchestra. Also, I listened to lots of Minutemen songs, and the notes say the bass player was Mike Watt.
But hey I've been wrong before . . .
cheers, and may God bless you,Iggy Pop, and all the fans.

The Social Distortion thing was an egregious mistake that I corrected. How dare someone even say someone as amazingly talented as Watt be part of that whitebread "punk" band.
Also, I deleted the small entry of Skull Ring as an album with "Various Artists" since it stated that it was also a solo album and also listed it as a solo album. Seemed really redundant and unecessary.
- Dude get off yourself. Don't touch any more articles relating to music. God.
he didn't adampt his name to iggy stooge that's what Danny Fields put on the first album iggy didn't want to be called that
RCA Test Presiing Info wanted
Hi there! Can anyone help me? I have an original RCA test pressing LP with the Catalogue Number PL 12275. It has IGGY POP scribed on the 'run-off' area of the record (both sides). I would like to know if the title the album was released under or if it was released at all. Thanx. Steve B. Please feel free to e-mail s.w.bennett@btinternet.com.
Jewish?
Hi there,
Is Iggy Pop Jewish?
The article about him in the Hebrew Wikipedia says that he's Jewish, which seemed rather dubious to me, so i googled it and there's only one place that affirms it and it's Jew Watch which is not very trustworthy.
Any help?--Amir E. Aharoni 13:03, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
"Although Pop had nothing to do with the movie, Ewan McGregor's sexually ambiguous, drug-fuelled character in Velvet Goldmine is considered by most critics to be modelled on him"
I think that needs to be removed, since the vast majority of critics claim that the character is based on David Bowie (which seems even more obvious since Velvet Goldmine is the title of a Ziggy-era Bowie song).
