Has anyone else noticed Iggy is doing Cadillac commercials these days? Just right for an Ann Arbor lad I suppose. Remember Bowie’s role in bringing him back. The Idiot, the album is the absolute cathartic journey. This is where you will find the original take on “China Girl.”

I agree, “Constant Craving” and “Anywhere but Here” are my favorites! Hope Sandoval’s voice is definately a stress reducer, soothing peace!

Awesome performer who took his art very seriously indeed.

Unlike AG ‘Abu Graib’ Gonzales who is jes another rat on the Republican slave ship trying to find a way off.
