Punk tart, Iggy Pop, has revealed that he was approached to be a guest judge on American Idol, which of course, would have been an absolute hoot! Think about it. His boiled racehorse body and impossible teeth, glowering from behind a desk while someone sings ‘I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll at him.
Of course, there’ll be those amongst you who think that Ig sold out when he did those car insurance commercials. While they are undoubtedly bad, they’re nowhere near as awful as some of the bands he played with in the ’80s.
And so, prime Stooge to appear on a pop contest on television? What’s the kicker?
4 – Iggy and the Stooges have the most brilliant rider in rock ‘n’ roll – Lust For Laughs
3 – Business cards are not always insultingly dull – Hongkiat
2 – Ace ’60s bubblegum wrappers with some decidedly weird looking flavours. – Booberry Alarm Clock
1 – Digital drugs? That’s the kind of thing that Chris Morris would make up right? WRONG! Yep. Over the jump is a very real news report talking about people getting high, digitally.
It’s hard to feel sorry for rock stars. They are, after all, rock stars, which usually means they get a paid a lot of money to be pretentious, go out with supermodels and trash hotel rooms.
Or something like that. Very rock and roll.
So when we hear they have somehow come up a cropper, it’s hard to stifle a chuckle. None more so than when they are onstage performing their ‘art’.
And if it’s an injury they inflicted on themselves doing something stupid, then, well, that’s just perfect. Not that we enjoy laughing at the misfortunes of people who are more successful than us.
Actually, that’s a lie – we dedicated an entire website to doing that.
Iggy, what happened? Did the royalty cheques for Lust For Life dry up?
It appears so as the once radical and slightly mental member of The Stooges has forgotten his punk ethos and decided to sell his soul to an insurance company. Another pissing insurance company, why do they think that famous people will get plebs off council estates in Sunderland to go with their company?
This advert doesn’t really explain anything. Are we covered against swarms of killer bees that can fire lasers at us? Would Swiftcover send a brick layer round if a polar bear knocked down one of our walls? We need some answers.
All the advert proves is that Iggy Pop still can’t afford a shirt and can’t string a sentence together. It makes Johnny Rotten’s butter commercial look slightly bearable.
