Iggy Pop is a man on a mission. His own mission, that is. What it is, only he is privy to it.
I never believed that U2 wanted to save the whales. I don’t believe that The Beastie Boys are ready to lay it down for Tibet.
Iggy Pop
I’ve never been a real big Iggy Pop lover but the man on stage is raw and inspiring. He work with the stooges is well known and now the man and his band is set to play in Toronto at the Yonge-Dundas Square stage. It’s all part of the NXNE Festival concert line up this year.

I’d love to go and check his show out live tonight but I have previous plans for today that cannot be changed!
I just found out about the show yesterday morning after coming home from an early doctors appointment down the street from Yonge-Dundas Square.
I was walking to the subway to go home and get ready for work when I saw the stage being set up, so I had a few minutes to spare, so I just walked around a bit. I saw this cool older couple sitting a this outside venue at a table and they were having a smoke and a coffee. So I walked up to them and asked then what was up and they told me of the show. Damn, not enough time to change our plans.
Has anyone out there seen these guys live? Am I nuts for not ditching my plans today for the chance to see the great Iggy Pop and the New Stooges play that is 7.9 km (4.9 miles) away?
Keep on Jammin’

Now where were you when I needed some guidance about what to do last Saturday!
Did they perform any new stuff or was it older material Sharkguy? Just wondering buddy.
Thanx for the comment buddy!

Dude no one is crazier than Iggy Pop on stage. I saw him in the 90s. He was old then…. how old is he now?!
James says
His stage presence was like few performers I’ve ever seen in all my years seeing live music. He could take control of their entire audience like it was nothing. A site to see for sure.
Guitar Music Lessons says
Have you seen his collaboration with some newer pop rock band? I can’t remember what the band was… but I didn’t like it. haha
Chris says
Age is just a number in your head Basswood! Wait till you get there brother!!!
He will always be in his early 20’s in this guys mind forever!
Thanx basswood
Chris says
It’s a God given gift for sure James. He just has that little extra something in his genes, lucky bastard!
Chris says
After all he’s given us over the years Guitar Music Lessons, we gotta give the man a little bit of a break. I guess you can’t be hitting all of them out of the ball park now can ya?!
I for one would love to jam with him in the backyard or at a campfire to see what he has left in the tank!
