Its Iggy's Birthday

Iggy Pop 1977 2

April 21 - today is Iggy Pop's birthday. He is 61 and he can give any punk rocker half his age a run for their money. Iggy was one of the early inadvertent creators of the music we label as "punk rock," giving the rock n roll genre an extra added shot of chaos and well... raw power

Iggy has influenced so many performers from David Bowie, who helped to bring him back into the spotlight in the late 70s with a pair of records born out of the Berlin experience (The Idiot and Lust of Life) to The Sex Pistols, Stiv Bators and Darby Crash and dozens of others over the decades since the Stooges first unleashed their sound.
