The Stooges - Fun House

So I’m kind of cheating on this one.  Did I sit down and listen to Fun House?  No.  But I did go see Iggy and the Stooges live.  Never really listened to The Stooges.  It was a weird experience.  For the first time in many years, I was the youngest person at the show.  It was 90% middle aged band guys and old punks.  Certainly the most male ponytails I’ve ever seen in one room.

While I’m not crazy about the music, Iggy was amazing.  They played for 90 minutes and the guy never stopped running.  Stage diving, throwing the mic stand, posing.  Total rock star stuff, but he could actually pull it off.  Can’t deny he’s a legend.
