  3. jimmybearpearson says Hmmm... apropos... particularly for the subway... It's been a long time since L.A. for me... Iggy Pop adds just the right amount of nostalgia. Thanks for the imagery.

  6. Mike the Knife says Love it to death. I'm of the opinion that a Stooges reunion was of minimal interest as long as Iggy continued his rockin' solo career. I mean, why try to top Raw Power so many years later - a near-impossible task - when you should be cranking out stuff like "The Passenger," "I'm Bored," "Lust for Life," etc.?
