Iggy Pop down the street and around the corner

June 19, 2010 by Chris

Iggy Pop is a man on a mission. His own mission, that is. What it is, only he is privy to it.

I never believed that U2 wanted to save the whales. I don’t believe that The Beastie Boys are ready to lay it down for Tibet.
Iggy Pop

I’ve never been a real big Iggy Pop lover but the man on stage is raw and inspiring. He work with the stooges is well known and now the man and his band is set to play in Toronto at the Yonge-Dundas Square stage. It’s all part of the NXNE Festival concert line up this year.

I’d love to go and check his show out live tonight but I have previous plans for today that cannot be changed!

I just found out about the show yesterday morning after coming home from an early doctors appointment down the street from Yonge-Dundas Square.

I was walking to the subway to go home and get ready for work when I saw the stage being set up, so I had a few minutes to spare, so I just walked around a bit. I saw this cool older couple sitting a this outside venue at a table and they were having a smoke and a coffee. So I walked up to them and asked then what was up and they told me of the show. Damn, not enough time to change our plans.

Has anyone out there seen these guys live? Am I nuts for not ditching my plans today for the chance to see the great Iggy Pop and the New Stooges play that is 7.9 km (4.9 miles) away?

Keep on Jammin’

    Dude no one is crazier than Iggy Pop on stage. I saw him in the 90s. He was old then…. how old is he now?!

    His stage presence was like few performers I’ve ever seen in all my years seeing live music. He could take control of their entire audience like it was nothing. A site to see for sure.

    It’s a God given gift for sure James. He just has that little extra something in his genes, lucky bastard!

    After all he’s given us over the years Guitar Music Lessons, we gotta give the man a little bit of a break. I guess you can’t be hitting all of them out of the ball park now can ya?!

    I for one would love to jam with him in the backyard or at a campfire to see what he has left in the tank!
