Today is a rather historic day, the legendary Iggy Pop celebrates his 76th birthday, today. Iggy’s influence on garage rock, punk rock and rock have been absolutely towering. As I’ve often said, we should show our legends their flowers while we have them. So let’s celebrate the man and his music today, huh?
Happy birthday, Iggy! May there be many, many, many more!
