Iggy I went to see Iggy and the Stooges last night. It was a last minute decision largely because I had completely spaced that they were coming. I had heard that they really weren't quite the same given the passage of three and a half decades or so, but I figured they were big enough legends that it warranted my going. I may well go see Morrissey in a couple of weeks based upon similar logic. I missed the opening band completely because I needed to take a nap before I went out. I felt pretty old needing a nap, but I figured Iggy probably naps too. I thought it was a really good show. Seeing them do I Wanna Be Your Dog was pretty special. They didn't play that long - probably only 10 songs or so. They rocked well in that time though. Iggy looked pretty good. I saw a recent photo of his face and thought he looked about 90, but his body was in decent shape. Seems that the right heroin diet will do wonders for your abs. I'm sure it's from neglecting food and the rigors of throwing up. Still, he looked good as he writhed topless on the speakers. He sounded decent too. Granted their songs don't necessarily require him to be a great vocalist, but I liked what I heard. My knee seemed to hold up all right with the little bit of dancing that was to be had. I was pretty nervous a few times about being able to get up if I got knocked down, but it never came to that. I was more active than I've been at other shows since the fall, but I still can't kick and skank like the old days. By the end of the night, I could barely walk. I took a cab home instead of dealing with walking to the bus stop. I'm pretty sore today too, but I'm gonna make it. I'm glad I went, and I was glad, if somewhat surprised, to see a whole lot more people than were in attendance at the Buzzcocks show a few months back. Upcoming shows include Dick Dale in May and Dinosaur Jr at the Lodo Music Fest, which I don't think is until June. Maybe Morrissey in May. Perhaps a few others too - there's nothing that I'm really all that excited about, but I do enjoy spending my entertainment dollar on live music. |
Some parts true. Many made-up.
