I love Iggy Pop. From the "rail-thin self-mutilator of the 70s through to today's festival-slaying elder statesman of onstage anarchy", he's always amazing.
But brace yourself kids, because apparently there's far more to Iggy Pop than just live charisma. The punk-rock survivor also wrote an article titled 'Caesar Lives' for the respected journal of Classical scholarship, 'Classics Ireland' and in 2007, provided the voice for a character in the film '
Persepolis', an animated film set against the backdrop of the Iranian Revolution.
Aww, rock stars' and their unlikely high-minded pursuits. (Meanwhile, John Lydon is looking like the biggest douche ever
selling Country Life butter... Pretty Vacant?)
Iggy told
NME "I get the same nervous weird adrenaline rush when I'm making a picture, especially if it turns out to be any good! I maybe a little fresher with the paintings because I'm just about to the point where I’ve made too many damn songs."
He's an Art Star.
