IGGY MAKES ROCK HALL!!!

[Divemistress of the Dark]

And I missed it!!!! There are not enough "%" and "&" characters on my keyboard to assemble the swearwords...

They just didn't advertise the ceremony and I only found it b/c of the Yahoo News story.

Somebody? Anybody? Link video? Pleeeeeeeeze???

(I did just get to see Little Steven induct the Hollies and play lead on "Long Cool Woman"...god do I love that man...he's right up there in the holy trinity with Nick Lowe, Stephen Colbert, Ray Davies, Stewart, etc.)

"I wanna' be Ig's dog!!!"
I mean, 'bout time there, Hall of Fame !
My morning radio guy was using nothing but Iggy and the Stooges bumper music all morning-THAT is a great way to start my Tuesday! (...really got my lust for life going.....heeheehee, )

Oh, and I got to hear a radio inteview, hmm, back in the Spring, with Iggy on the album he had just released, "Preliminaries". Very erudite and clear spoken, Mr. Pop is-especially after all he's put himself through!
And all of Iggy's charm came out, I very much enjoyed how he described his music. This was a PBS 'Fresh Air' interview, and maybe one of y'all can find a link, or at least find a website w/ the audio, worth a listen!

Hey, thanks for the tip. I'll certainly make it my business to try to locate that. Saw Ig a couple years back in Memphis and he was still spot on as always. Amazing, as you say, he's still so lucid.

So far snippets of the performance have been posted, but there's a full repeat on Sunday. Still bummed I missed Billie Joe's induction, too. snif. Anybody know if World's Best Bassist (sorry Sting) Mike Watt played??

Although Jimmy Cliff and ABBA were stupendous.

I know Stewart's on record saying the whole thing's flimflam - and to an extent I agree - but it's still fun to watch 'em play.

(Bruce & Patti in the front row, too. Was hoping for a blowout jam at the end...oh well.)
