Iggy Pop, legendary Rock 'n' Roll wildman and substance abuser, was born in Muskegon, Michigan, as James Newell Osterberg Jr. He grew up in a small trailer park not far from Ann Arbor, as a shy, introverted kid.

After seeing The Doors perform in 1968, Iggy decided he wanted to be a Rock singer. He started The Stooges, one of the loudest, lewdest band ever.

Their 1973 L.P. Raw Power, was a major influence on everyone from The Sex Pistols to Mötley Crüe. He worked extensively with David Bowie, and with him he wrote China Girl in the early 80's.

With his album Brick By Brick featuring the hit Candy, Iggy reconfirmed his musical entrance and stance for the 90's. He also got in to the movies; he appeared in the sequel of The Crow: City Of Angels, as one of the bad guys.
