Born this day in 1947 in Muskegon, Michigan, James Newell Osterberg, Jr. better known by his stage name Iggy Pop, is an American treasure, punk rock singer and occasional actor. Although he has had only limited commercial success, Pop is considered one of the most important innovators of punk rock and related styles. He is sometimes referred to by the nicknames "the Godfather of Punk" and "the Rock Iguana", and is widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic stage performers of rock.
Pop was the lead singer of The Stooges, a late 1960s/early 1970s band that was highly influential in the development of hard rock. The Stooges became infamous for their live performances in which Pop leapt off the stage (thus inventing the "stage dive"), smeared raw meat and on one occasion peanut butter over his chest and cut himself with broken bottles. Many subsequent performers have imitated Pop’s antics.
Although he would never regain the vitality of his days with the Stooges, Pop has had varying degrees of success in his 25 years as a solo artist. His best-known songs include "Lust for Life", "I'm Bored" and "The Passenger" (the latter based on a poem written by Jim Morrison).
A film about Pop's life and career titled The Passenger is currently in production. Unfortunately it stars the little dude who played Frodo.

That picture of Iggy and Keith is so cool, never saw it before. Thanks VCIW. I was just watching an old clip of Iggy on Letterman when he sang shirtless with brocoli around his neck. |

Hello FPM,
You appear to be correct, my friend. Iggy is 4/21, and does not share birthday with Hitler.
Rather, Colin Powell and Carmen Electra share bday with Hitler.

Cheers to my cyber-friends here for turning me on to Iggy several years ago. I'm a fan of the man, for sure. |

Yeah, whether you like him or not, there's really not much room for discussion that Iggy embodies ROCK AND ROLL more than any other person I can think of.
Long live the Ig!

Yeah...I'm not holding my breath for that one. I think maybe Gollum might be better...
 
Another pair of birthdays yesterday which cracks me up - Hitler and Chaplin were born on exactly the same day.

Vladimir Illich Lenin was born on 4/24. I must note his bday!
I think that he was one of the most innovative political minds of the last century. |
