- hugely influential, charismatic & provocative.

Every 'mad, bad, dangerous to know' rock star owes a debt to him, & the stories of his shocking behaviour are legendary. But Iggy Pop is also, to a large extent, a construct, the alter ego of the quietly spoken & intriguing Jim Osterberg: the kid voted ' Most Likely to Succeed' by his classmates.
