You have lost it dude. You either should not have listened or you should not have demanded to take your top off.
You make me and everyone in my house wanna puke up when we see that shit advert
Grow old with dignity and grow old gracefully

Yep .... Keep that shirt on Mr Pop ..... I realise that I must spare the world from the sight of my naked torso - you should do the same

Yes. In the 80's he could (and did) get away with that stuff. Now he can't. But he's still one of the grand rock 'n roll survivors...

OK - bonus points (whatever that means) to the first person who can tell me Iggy's real name.
(I know it; I just want to see if you lot do...)

Would that be James Newell Osterberg Junior by any chance?
Points please

I'll give points to anybody who can name ONE GOOD record he has made, perhaps a couple half decent, but nothing I have ever been tempted to buy!
As for the shirt, keep the bloody thing on mate, and your mouth shut!

I believed it was James Jewell Osterburg Jr, but your answer is close enough for Jazz, Pete. Points payable in red?
And 'The Passenger' is surely good enough to figure on anyone's list. I think he's at least as good as the man in whose shadow he spent a lot of time; David Bowie.

Raw Power is a seminal album - predating the sex pistols but just as angry
I have seen him play live a few times and he does do a good show :)

I,m sure he has some attractions for women of a certain age
As for songs I only know lust for life which is crap. Passenger I will have to listen to - didn't someone do a dreary cover ?

is a well covered song - the previous album to Lust for Life was the idiot - not a bad album in its day
Due to my almost manic Bowie collecting I have a lot of Iggy stuff - they worked together a lot over the years

Which reminds me.... hopefully, those travelling to our area June/July MIGHT just catch the summer festival in Carcassonne. Last year we had ZZ Top, Deep Purple, and others (I saw George Benson (OK but a bit girly in bits, the wife likes him) and Massive Attack), they were brilliant but so f**king loud, my tinitus got a whole lot worse. I'll post up who is on when it gets finalised.
Graham, I'll take my points in red wine thanks, and I do thank Wikipedia for their assistance!
