SoberHeroes: Iggy Pop
Raw Power. It’s the title of the 1973 third album by Iggy and the Stooges. And it describes Iggy Pop to a T. An extreme heroin addict, Iggy Pop is a punk icon. He was a punk even before there was something called “punk.”
Pop was notorious for reckless performance antics — indecent exposure, rolling around shirtless in broken glass (he always performs shirtless) — and vomiting on the audience. He invented the stage dive.
