"What 1 want is to touch
the earth, spit through my
nose, and die in a river. Get
the picture? I will NOT
allow myself to disappear.
What about you?"
- Iggy Pop
If you haven't heard of
Iggy Pop by now, you
haven't been listening. Fol
lowing his first dozen al
bums from 1969 to last
year's Zombie Birdhouse, 1
Need More marks his first
literary effort and is as
striking and unique as his
music.
The Iggy Pop story is
one of self-confidence, ar
rogance and defiance. From
early childhood, James Os
terberg (Ids given name)
thought he was smart and
knew he was different.
He's proved himself cor
rect on both accounts and
Need More is good docu
mentation of that fact. His healthy, lithe, (but still ex
stage antics during the early cessive) person he is today.
'70s with his group The Iggy Pop's life has ob
Stooges have become le- viously been far from the
gendary. From rolling bare- all-American boy stereo
chested in broken glass and type. But in a sense, his is
peanut butter, to spray
painting himseli silver, to
flinging his body into the
audience, Iggy has never
been at a loss for words,
and his opinions froth from
him with the enthusiasm of
a child and the ego of a
Mohammed Ali.
The book is a series of
short vignettes dealing with
the
Ig S favorite ' Concert,
his life on drugs, his close
relationship with David
Bowie and the like. At
least half of the book's
125 pages are photos. The
photographs, although not
as b'oody as some others
Tve seen, serve to describe
Iggy's life as well as his
confessions. A particularly
moving series depicts Pop
walking across an audience's
hands during a performance
in Cincinnati in 1970. Other
photos trace the star from
his days as a cub scout,
to his bleached-blonde
"stooge" period, to the

The Stooges and other Stories
by Iggy Pop with Anne Wehrer
a wonaertuuy unique
American success story. As
he would be the first to
tell you, it would make
a great TV movie. Rising
from a childhood of chronic
asthma in a cramped trailer
park in Detroit, James
(Iggy) had his first band
by age 20. Steered by
nothing more than ini-
AwnM conviction and a
attitude, he has carved his
niche in the music world
without once compromising
himself. In fact, Iggy's suc-
cess has come from defying
authority and the "right
himself. In fact, Iggy's suc-
cess has come from defying
authority and the "right
career moves" rather than
courting them. David Bowie
has described Need More
as "a genuine rock action
account of snatching defeat
from the jaws of victory."

Iggy's life, as depicted
in Need More, involves
rather large amounts of
drugs, sex and violence.
But in his hands, these
tilings becomes means to an
end, not mindless debauch
ery. They are merely tools
he uses in asserting his
original personal style and
his independence from
traditional norms. In that
sense, and in the maverick,
James Dean tradition, his
success story is uniquely
American.
It is clear from this
a work in progress. Iggy
Pop needs more . . . and
he will undoubtedly get
it.
"I need more than an
ordinary grind and the
more I think the more
I need my life is going
all right up 'til now
even so it's not enough
for me . . . and I need
more . . . than I ever
did before" - Need
More 1980, Iggy Pop
