Iggy Pop
What some people would call antics, I would just call a good show.
Iggy Pop
It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.
Iggy Pop
I feel a great comfort and relief knowing that there are others who lived and died and thought and fought so long ago I feel less tyrannized by the present day.
Iggy Pop
I'm a little bit damaged in about 15 different ways, and it's been nice that no particular damaged area has become a major issue. I'm a more than moderately healthy 65-year-old male who has gotten away with a lot of stuff.
Iggy Pop
