Iggy Pop is one of the craziest rock and wool front men to ever grace the stage.

As the lead singer of the stooge is, Iggy was known for bending and contorting his sometimes

bloodied body while feverishly pacing the stage like a wild animal.

His 50 year career has been as tumultuous as his performance style.

Just starting the stooge's in Michigan in 67, the band released three albums, including

Fun House and Rob Power.

The band eventually disbanded in the mid 70s and Iggy went solo, recording a series

of albums, some of which were instant classics like the two recorded with David Bowie, and

others more experimental, actually some of my personal favorites.

At 75 years old, he's just released his newest album produced by Andrew Watt, Every Loser.

On today's episode, Iggy shares incredible stories with Rick Rubin about his career.

Their conversation was so great, we decided to split it into two consecutive episodes.

Today in part one, we'll hear Iggy reminisce about recording Fun House in Los Angeles, and

the first time he saw the ocean.

He also talks about the tight-knit rock scene and Detroit and how it was in some ways led

by a local madman, writer, activist, and music manager named Johnson Claire.

And stay put at the end of this episode to hear his song off of Iggy's newest album.
