A perfect song for showing everyone you are cooler than they are. I have to respect (and question) anyone who tries to get their music to sound like it’s being played on blown out speakers, on purpose.
Iggy Pop was recently featured in NPR’s Special Series: 50 Great Voices. His music resonates with us here at RWW and his character is one that an ultra-runner has to respect. From NPR: “He’s proved that a voice doesn’t have to charm or seduce someone; it can provoke. A vocal can be dangerous.” Take a few minutes to turn up the volume and enjoy one of our favorite Iggy tunes above, The Passenger.
There’s an Iggy biopic titled The Passenger set to come out this year. Iggy will be played by Elijah Wood (odd choice in our opinion, sorry Lord of the Rings fans).
We’ll leave you with a classic quote from Iggy, after getting pelted by an angry crowd with glass bottles. “Thank you very much to the person who threw this glass bottle at my head. You’ll have to try again next week.”
