Robert’s Awesome Photos of Iggy Pop at SXSW

You know, I’ve never been to SXSW. I was invited to be on a panel there one year, but I had to go to Scotland. It’s clearly where all the cool kids are (another reason I haven’t been).

All whinging aside, Robert took some really great photos of Iggy Pop performing at Stubbs Bar-B-Q in Austin. The lighting is shockingly good for concert photos. When I saw this thumbnail, I thought Robert had visited a local wax museum. In my defence, Mr. Pop (nee Mr. Osterberg) does look, uh, well preserved.

Comments: One Response so far

On the subject of Iggy Pop. I just finished reading “Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk.”

It was a fascinating read. It felt like an A&E biography on paper. The whole book is cobbled together from newspaper articles, court documents and interviews with no author based exposition at all.
