Oh dear. And this is the man Jim Morrison was afraid was 'too extreme', now he's elevator music

yes but Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme is getting out of prison

For some reason, I read that as Iggy is dead, so I started google-ing like crazy to know what happened. Then I seriously doubted your source. And your word.
Then I looked at the vids...

Another one sold!

I vaguely remember him doing an ad for them a year or so ago that was banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (or whatever they are called) as it implied he was insured with them and they had a policy of refusing insurance to professional musicians lol

Actually, the man has survived his own life, sadly!

Last week I had to hear Pearl Jam's "Black" as an instrumental in my supermarket. That's as sad as it can get ...

I do think the Iggy Pop case (as I will be calling it henceforth) is worse after all. Pearl Jam was no Nirvana.

Another Punk sellout is Blixa Bargeld from Einstürzende Neubauten and the Bad Seeds in a commercial for a German hardwarestore:

John Cooper Clarke defected to the dark side with style and panache.
