by Steve Everitt All evening I couldn't help thinking about my dad; his shin off, his hair down, bouncing around on stage like a chimp, both lurmng on and repulsing the crowd at Uie same time. Then I tried to think of Iggy Pop as my father and realized that I would probably be in jail for the convenient genocide of my family.

CONCERT REVIEW Iggy Pop The Commodore Ballroom

Well, don'l gel me completely wrong. Iggy is a showman, a hard rocker, and a man with an incredi• ble career behind him. As Ihe frontman for the powertrash band. The Stooges, in the late 60's early 70's, he was the orig• inal punk. Dmgs, alcohol and who knows what else, then attempted to riphi s career apart. But in the mid 70's, he befriended David Bowie, they moved to Berlin, and Iggy's career rebounded with Bowies' help. For the last decade and a half, he's tried many styles and lately has settled with a hard thrash sound. This is the sound he relied on for his Commodore show. Most of Ihe matenal was from his newest album, but he did play a few of the older ones including Real Wild Child, and an even older one. The Passenger. This was my favorite aspect of the show, because I dig his older material. As for the new stuff, well, the dead, died black cowskin jacket wearers seemed to get off on Iggys' gyrations, and his almost exoskeleton appearance, as well as the music. It was a sold out show, so I guess tliere's something appealing about the latest Iggy incarna• JAMES "BIZI" DiniGER PHOTO tion.
