The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock [NEW 1978 Edition] - “Iggy Pop.” James Jewel Osterburg, as he was born to parents in Ann Arbor, MI, in 1947, adopted the name Iggy when he changed affiliations and left ‘The Iguanas’, a Detroit punk combo, and joined local rivals #theprimemovers . After splitting to Chicago to play the blues with #paulbutterfield drummer #samlay ,#iggypop returned to #detroit with a uniquely demented vision. This was #thestoogesband - Iggy as vocalist, contortionist and all purpose catalyst, the Asheton brothers Ron and Scott on guitar and drums respectively, and Dave Alexander on bass. #punk #punkrock #theseventies #iggypopandthestooges https://www.instagram.com/p/CM8kf53Lxp5/?igshid=zxwacbcwju0m
