The last time i wrote about Iggy Pop it was from England where Iggy was embroiled in controversy over shilling for a car insurance company who discriminated against young people.
It is much more fun to tell you that Iggy and his songwriter and guitarist from Raw Power days James Willimason are reuniting with drummer Scott Asheton following the death of original Stooges guitarist, and bassist on Raw Power, Ron Asheton.
They had their first rehearsals earlier this week and my former Creem editor and current Metro Times editor Bill Holdship interviewed them the day after. Here is the link to his excellent article: http://www.metrotimes.com/music/story.asp?id=14429
