Iggy Pop

Iggy Pop is an American
singer, songwriter, musician,
and occasional actor. He was
born April 21, 1947 with the
name James Newell Osterberg Jr
in Muskegon, Michigan. He is
the the son of Louella (née
Christensen) and James Newell
Osterberg, Sr., a former high
school English teacher and
baseball coach at Fordson High
School in Dearborn,
Michigan.[3] Osterberg was
raised in a trailer park in
Ypsilanti, Michigan. He is of
Irish and English descent on
his father's side, and of
Norwegian and Danish ancestry
on his mother's. His father
was adopted by a Swedish
American family and took on
their surname (Österberg).He
is considered an influential
innovator of punk rock, hard
rock, and other styles of rock
music. Pop began calling
himself "Iggy" after his first
band in high school (he was
the drummer), The Iguanas.

Pop's popularity has ebbed and
flowed throughout the course
of his subsequent solo career.
His best-known solo songs
include "Lust for Life", the
Top 40 hits "Real Wild Child"
and "Candy" (with vocalist
Kate Pierson of The B-52's),
"China Girl" (co-written with
and covered by David Bowie)
and "The Passenger".

The seeds of Iggy Pop's stage
persona were sown when he saw
The Doors perform in 1967 at
the University of Michigan and
was amazed by the stage antics
and antagonism displayed by
singer Jim Morrison.
Morrison's extreme behavior,
while performing in a popular
band, inspired the young Pop
to push the boundaries of
stage performance. Pop was the
first performer to do a
stage-dive which he started at
a concert in Detroit. Other
exploits of Pop include
rolling around in broken
glass, exposing himself to the
crowd, and vomiting on stage
