The Raw Power of Iggy Pop

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
In the late 1960s, a Michigan kid named Jim Osterberg turned into a "streetwalkin' cheetah with a heart full of napalm" and became the godfather of punk. Today, we examine the legacy of Iggy Pop. Plus: a look at the Iraq art world after the U.S. invasion. And finally, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Luke Temple performs in our studio. This is a repeat episode of Soundcheck.
