Iggy Pop citáty

Iggy Pop, vlastním jménem James Newell Osterberg, Jr., je americký punkrockový zpěvák a občasný herec .

Přestože měl jen omezený komerční úspěch, Pop je považovaný za jednoho z největších vzorů punk rocku a jeho příbuzných stylů. Někdy je také nazýván jako Kmotr punku nebo Rockový leguán, a je také velice proslulý svou dynamikou na pódiu.

Pop byl zpěvákem kapely The Stooges z přelomu 60. a 70. let která měla velký vliv na podobu hard rocku a počátky punku . The Stooges se neblaze proslavili svými koncerty, na kterých Pop skákal z pódia , s hrudí pomazanou syrovým masem a někdy také burákovým máslem nebo pořezaný rozbitými lahvemi. Mnoho pozdějších zpěváků tyto Popovy kousky imitovalo.Ačkoli už nebyl tak divoký jako za časů The Stooges, Pop byl střídavě úspěšný jako sólový zpěvák 25 let.

Mezi jeho nejznámější písničky patří například „Lust for Life“, „I'm Bored“ nebo „The Passenger“ .

V roce 2010 byl Iggy se skupinou The Stooges zařazen do Rock'n'rollové síně slávy . V současnosti[kdy?] Iggy Pop žije ve svém domě se svou manželkou Nina Alu v Miami na Floridě. Iggy rád řídí svoje Ferrari F430 a i přes občasné přestávky stále koncertuje. V červnu 2010 hrál v kanadském Torontu na festivalu NXNE a téhož roku i koncertoval v Evropě. Wikipedia

„Naučil jsem se jedinečnou a nepostradatelnou věc: hrát rock and roll. Zarazil jsem rodičům, aby mě dál oblíkali, a začal se ze mě stávat zamlklý hajzl se studeným čumákem, a tím jsem celou dobu od vzniku The Stooges.“

Iggy Pop: Citáty anglicky

“What did Christ really do? He hung out with hard-drinking fishermen. And when they asked him, "Why are you hanging out with prostitutes and fishermen?" he said, "Because they need me."”

On his stage performances, including acts where he would crawl and roll on broken glass.
Rolling Stone interview (2003)
Kontext: As society has changed, what had formerly been unacceptable has become colorful, even the broken-glass thing. Although, you know, there's an archetypal element to that anyway.... It's about the blood... The Christians used that riff with Christ. What did Christ really do? He hung out with hard-drinking fishermen. And when they asked him, "Why are you hanging out with prostitutes and fishermen?" he said, "Because they need me." What a line, you know? But what your martial society really wants is blood. We need some blood. We need some suffering. Like, the individual must suffer for the good of the whole. I toy around with that. Early on, I wasn't looking at Jesus Christ, saying to myself, "What an angle." I wasn't trying to be Christ-y. But, after all, on one level, this is showbiz.

“What I do on stage has utterly no purpose.”

Peter Gzowski's 90 Minutes Live interview (1977)

“He was a person of affairs, in the worldly sense, with a lot of choices laid out on his smorgasbord. I had no choices whatsoever. I was a pariah. But a very fortunate one, in that he saw something worthwhile in me, and he made me two terrific records. He gave me the break I needed to continue living life. He is my benefactor.”

On his relations with David Bowie
Rolling Stone interview (2003)
Kontext: I used to catch myself — maybe we'd be having dinner with the future king of Spain, and I'd be grumpy, like, "What are we doing here, hanging out with these swells?" And then, right away, I'd realize, "Dude, you're jealous." It got very hard on a certain level. He was a person of affairs, in the worldly sense, with a lot of choices laid out on his smorgasbord. I had no choices whatsoever. I was a pariah. But a very fortunate one, in that he saw something worthwhile in me, and he made me two terrific records. He gave me the break I needed to continue living life. He is my benefactor.

“I have a hot memory, but I know I've forgotten many things, too, just squashed things in favor of survival. The only thing missing from my life right now is what I've got, and it's peace. I have more than I ever had … and not as much as I would like.”

Rolling Stone interview (2003)
Kontext: Have you ever noticed that a small creature, like a mouse or a mole, when faced with danger, they just stop? I've had big, long periods in my life when I was a lot like that. I just froze. It was not fun, but it was what I thought I had to do. And that's how I lived, pretty much, at one time. I have a hot memory, but I know I've forgotten many things, too, just squashed things in favor of survival. The only thing missing from my life right now is what I've got, and it's peace. I have more than I ever had... and not as much as I would like.

“I've never had any sort of macho revulsion of fags, but Bowie and I — never, never, never, never. Everybody would think that, but I never saw him be that way anyway.”

On rumours that he and Bowie were lovers.
Rolling Stone interview (2003)
Kontext: I've never had any sort of macho revulsion of fags, but Bowie and I — never, never, never, never. Everybody would think that, but I never saw him be that way anyway. I'll tell you this. That guy got more p-u-s-s-y. I couldn't believe it. Talk about a bitch magnet. Damn! Actresses, heiresses, waitresses, skateresses. And me? I was just left holding my dick most of the time. I had this short haircut, and I looked like a duck. But I got lucky sometimes. I got a good song out of a girl I was knocking off at the time, and it became "China Girl."

“Everybody's a little more worldly now, and there's more exposure to things. When I made Fun House, back in 1970, nobody wanted to interview me. It was wonderful.”

Interview interview (1999)
Kontext: Everybody's a little more worldly now, and there's more exposure to things. When I made Fun House, back in 1970, nobody wanted to interview me. It was wonderful. I was like one of those little white things you find living under rocks, that every once in a while people pull up by mistake and go, "aagh!" But now everybody has a video camera, and that may have changed the nature of "the message from below," as it were.

“Before I kick it I want to be able to carry a tune in a living room if called upon. Of course, mine come out all dark and twisted and weird.”

Interview interview (1999)
Kontext: You know, I'm fifty-two now and I call myself a singer. Before I kick it I want to be able to carry a tune in a living room if called upon. Of course, mine come out all dark and twisted and weird.

“I wore that because it makes me look beautiful. I stare at myself in the mirror and I think, "Wow, I'm really great-looking." … I think I'm the greatest, anyway.”

On wearing leotards and fishnet stockings in his early performances.
Rolling Stone interview (2003)
Kontext: I wore that because it makes me look beautiful. I stare at myself in the mirror and I think, "Wow, I'm really great-looking."... I think I'm the greatest, anyway.

“I feel like God peed on all my enemies. For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them.”

Interview interview (1999)
Kontext: I feel like God peed on all my enemies. For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little — a movie song here or a TV ad there.

“Bowie's a real man, and I'm a real woman — just like Catherine Deneuve.”
