He loved Berlin as a city because it gave more freedom than most places in America. One of Buddy's closest friends and a true trailblazer in the music industry, the longest tenured member of The Crickets was not only a 'Real Wild Child,' but was also an innovator on the drums.

I've been a big fan of Iggy Pop ever since I discovered The Stooges around 2003. A film about Iggy Pop's life and career titled The Passenger is currently in development. His best-known solo songs include "Lust for Life", "I'm Bored", "Real Wild Child", the Top 40 hit "Candy" (with vocalist Kate Pierson of The B-52's) and "The Passenger". Pop has had varying degrees of success in the course of his subsequent solo career. Countless subsequent performers have imitated Pop's antics. The Stooges became infamous for their live performances, during which it was not uncommon for Pop to consume narcotics, self-mutilate, verbally abuse the audience, expose himself and leap off the stage (thus being among the first to "stage dive"). Iggy Pop was the lead singer of The Stooges, a late 1960s/early 1970s garage rock band who were influential in the development of the nascent heavy metal and punk rock genres. His direct influence extends to the present day: a Cadillac ad in rotation since February 2007 features his vocal performance on the song "Punkrocker", recorded in 2006 with the Swedish band Teddybears. Pop began calling himself Iggy after his first band in high school, The Iguanas. He is sometimes referred to by the nicknames "the Godfather of Punk" and "the Rock Iguana," and is widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic stage performers of rock. ![]() Although he has had only limited commercial success, Iggy Pop is considered an innovator of punk and related styles.
