Iggy & the Stooges played Mohawk @ SXSW (pics, review)
Photos by Greg Cristman ; words by Andrew Sacher. In addition to the thousands millions? This year, one of those legends was Iggy and the Stooges , who are working on a new album this year. Following some introductory music over the PA that sounded like it could score or something, the members of The Stooges Scott Asheton, Toby Dammit, James Williamson, and Mike Watt took to their positions and then finally a shirtless Iggy Pop ran to the front of the stage as the audience howled in excitement. I wasn't born yet when The Stooges made their first run as a band, but from the videos I've seen and the stories I've heard, Iggy was always a maniac on stage and he's still got it. He never stopped running around, yelling his vocals, and giving "fuck"-filled speeches between songs.
Originally conceived as an alternative to the Grammy Awards in the video category , the annual MTV Video Music Awards ceremony has often been called the " Super Bowl for youth", an acknowledgment of the VMA ceremony's ability to draw millions of youth from teens to somethings each year. The statue is now made by New York firm Society Awards. The annual VMA ceremony occurs before the end of summer and held either in late August or mid-September, and broadcast live on MTV, along with a "roadblock" simulcast across MTV's sister networks since , which is utilized to maximize the ceremony's ratings.
Nothing makes sense unless you know who Iggy pop was. Just in general, he lived the totally messed-up life and wrote the totally messed-up songs without which there could have been no angry punk-music explosion of the s, much less anything that has evolved since, angry-punk-music-related. He is fifty-six years old now, has recently released a new CD Skull Ring , featuring songs recorded with Sum 41, Green Day, the Trolls — his latest backup band — and the reunited Stooges and lives quietly among doddering blue-hairs and faggy hipsters in Miami Beach. By implication, of course, this suggests that he is not fucked up now, and he says that this is in fact true.
