In 1995, he had bought what he scribed as “a very seedy ndo” Miami, and he has had a home the cy ever sce. The extremy of the place— is both environmentally tenuo and athetilly vulgar—seems to su Pop, who, the late neteen-sixti, as a member of the Stoog, helped vent and refe punk rock, a genre of mic so menacg and physilly savage that is sometim shockg that Pop has ma to the age of seventy-two. After he moved to Miami, he started swimmg every day. “I didn’t know anybody,” he said. “I’d go to the beach and e home, go to the beach and e home. I tried to build myself back up om twenty years harns—New York Cy, the morn Amerin rerd dtry, gellg enomy tourg. I qu smokg here.”</p><p class="paywall">From afar, Pop rembl a bronze statuette. He is lhe, sewy, and eply tanned, wh a torso that, for s, has appeared so exquisely and mutely mcled that an onlooker might reasonably assume was pated on. In recent years, his midsectn has relaxed a b, but he assured me, while pattg , that remas que firm. His hair is blond, shoulr length, p straight, and parted the middle, and his ey are an oceanic blue. Though he has had Lasik surgery—“In Colombia, before was legal here”—his visn is still imperfect, a malady he chalks up to dog too much traveno e. He has retaed a b of a round, Midwtern accent om his upbrgg, outsi Detro. In nversatn, he is nearly guilels, and he listens tently and refully. Perdilly, his face will llapse to a benevolent gr.</p><p class="paywall">He kicked a pair of striped Gucci slis onto the sand.

Earlier the day, at a small stud Coral Gabl, Pop had rerd two episos of “<a href=">Iggy Confintial</a>,” the BBC Rad 6 mic program he began hostg 2015, after fdg that he enjoyed the experience of actg, as he put , as “a kd of atmospheric bartenr.” His broadstg voice is ep, slow, and pleasantly wobbly. “Comparg my patter when I started the thg and my patter now, I sound nearer and nearer to my expiratn,” Pop said. “I sound like Shrek.”</p><p class="paywall">Pop’s selectns that morng clud songs om ntemporary acts such as FKA Twigs, Bill Callahan, Cate Le Bon, and Tyler, the Creator, along wh “<a href=">Hot Chile</a>,” a sgle that Jam Brown and his band released 1960, g the psdonym Nat Kendrick and the Swans. As a d.j., Pop is good at revealg the nnective tissue between seemgly patible numbers. After cueg up “<a href=">Dream Baby Dream</a>,” by the experimental punk duo Suici, he sat up his chair and adjted his spectacl. “<a href=">Alan Vega</a>, he had rock and R. & B. mov,” he said. “He remds me a ltle of Bno Mars and Sal Meo.” Between shows, Pop emerged om the ol, dark booth, shirtls and lookg for sunshe. “Wanna go outsi and warm up?” he asked. He disvers new mic for his show by takg the remendatns of iends and openg acts, by readg the shortt, most obscure reviews published the <em>Guardian</em>, or by lookg through the upg ncert listgs published each Friday the <em>Tim</em>. It has kept him awake to the moment.</p><p class="paywall">In early Augt, the eponymo début album om the Stoog, which Pop helped form, 1967, celebrated s fiftieth anniversary. In September, Pop will release “Free,” his eighteenth solo album. “Free” is his most surprisg rerd s, and one of his most llaborative. “I began to reil om guar riffs favor of guarsp, om twangs favor of horns, om back beat favor of space, and, large part, om the effluent of my own md and problems, favor of tryg to terpret the poetry of others,” he wr the ler not. Two of his wrg partners on the album are Leron Thomas, a jazz tmpeter om Hoton, and the poser and filmmaker Sarah Lipstate, who rerds as Noveller.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-1 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">Thomas wrote lyrics for half of the tracks on “Free,” cludg “Dirty Sanchez,” a lewd, tense medatn on ntemporary sexualy that clus the l “Jt bee I like big ts / Don’t mean I like big dicks.” “I was thkg, How do I expla to this guy”—Thomas—“that this is reer suici?” Pop told me. “So I wrote him and said, ‘Look, the bt thg you n do is put some horn on .’ That’s my ntributn: ‘Put some horn on !’ So he horned the sh out of , you know?” Pop went on, “I sang the song once, jt for fun, and I thought, you know, Don’t turn to a total fart here.

In the early neteen-seventi, he was notor for subvertg cultural standards; a ncert by the Stoog often clud bloodshed, along wh the triumphant celebratn of one or more perversns. Pop was btal onstage—barfg, takg his cloth off, draggg furnure or bodi around, slicg his cht wh shards of broken glass. In San Francis, 1974, he was stompg through the crowd when a fan yanked his briefs down and appeared to perform oral sex on him. Stori about Pop’s misbehavr are lewd, ptivatg, and plentiful.</p><p class="paywall">But Pop’s work has grown more terr recent years. The most personal piece on “Free” is “Lov Missg,” a propulsive song about the value of pannship and loyalty. Pop wrote the lyrics. His voice sounds rich and heavy, wh a pth and agily remiscent of Jacqu Brel’s. “Lov absent,” he sgs. “The center won’t hold the ends.”</p><p class="paywall">“He don’t want to re-tread ground that he’s vered before,” Wayne Kramer, the guarist and -founr of the Detro rock band the MC5, told me. “A lifetime of creativy is a hard job, and he’s a soldier.”</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">Iggy Pop was born Jam Osterberg, Jr., 1947, and brought up Ypsilanti, about forty wt of Detro. He is an only child, and was brought up by his mother, Louella, who worked for Bendix, a manufacturer of tomobile and airplane parts, and his father, Jam, who tght English at Fordson High School, Dearborn. For most of Pop’s childhood, the three of them lived a three-hundred-and-sixty-square-foot trailer a mobile-home park, surround by a gravel quarry, vegetable fields, and Pat’s Par Three golf urse. He began playg dms fifth gra. At night, he banged on a uple of bber pads glued to a piece of plywood, until his parents bought him a three-piece dm k and let him set up the trailer’s master bedroom.</p><div class="Contaer-bkChBi byNLHx"></div><p class="paywall">In “<a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Please Kill Me</a>,” Legs McNeil and Gillian McCa’s oral history of punk, his classmate Ron Asheton scrib a teen-age Pop as fairly nventnal: “He hung out wh the popular kids that wore chos, shmere sweaters, and penny loafers. Iggy didn’t smoke cigarett, didn’t get high, didn’t drk.” Every few years, Pop’s high-school-yearbook photograph circulat on the Inter: lookg wy and handsome, wearg a jacket and a tie, he gaz at the mera wh a cur mixture of eagerns and apathy.</p><p class="paywall">In 1963, Pop started a band lled the Iguanas, which played surf rock and vers of the Beatl, the Rollg Ston, and the Kks. Already, Pop had an stct for theatrics. He built a rickety seven-foot riser for his dm k, so that he towered over his bandmat like some sort of magnificent spot. Eventually, Pop got bored dog Brish Invasn vers. He enrolled at the Universy of Michigan, and, soon after, he left the Iguanas for a blu band lled the Prime Movers. The group was led by Michael Erlewe, an aspirg tellectual who read the major poets, knew a b about philosophy, and had experimented wh psychelic dgs. “He was the guy around mp who had the bt rerd llectn, knew how to wear boots, had reportedly hchhiked wh Dylan,” Pop said. Pop’s tast began expandg toward the g.</p><p class="paywall">Pop had e of age as <a href=">Elvis Prley</a> was ascendg the charts, and was moved by Prley’s magism. “I started listeng and watchg, pecially the stuff he took om mstrel shows,” he said. “The footwork, the tongue--cheek humor.” Meanwhile, he told me, “Charlotte Moorman did this thg where she was naked—I don’t thk she was really naked, maybe she was topls—and played the cello.” There are elements of both tradns Pop’s mic: longg, rage, pravy, dissonance, showmanship, charisma, a ltle b of old-fashned song and dance.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layoutasi"><asi class="PersistentAsiWrapper-VGrR daRVRt persistent-asi" style="posn:absolute;top:to;height:to" data-ttid="PersistentAsiWrapper"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-boxprimary"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--rail"><div class="adslot adslot--rail" data-no-id="6gzklg"></div></div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--display-rail" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-unslot nsumer-marketg-unslot--display-rail"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></asi></div></div><div class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="adslot adslot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="ijwc4"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layoutntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa EOneK body bodyntaer articlebody" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="bodyner-ntaer"><p class="paywall">Pop had a job at Disunt Rerds, near the central mp.

class="paywall">Wayne Kramer relled the show as feelg stantaneo and electric. “I was expectg a band. It was way more than a band. It was primal,” he said. “Simple is not easy. It was the first time I ever saw someone dance and terpret the mic to the gree he was able to, live onstage.” He add, “The mic wasn’t pop, wasn’t rock, was somethg else. It was dark and forebodg and powerful and hypnotic.” In 1969, the band lost the “Psychelic” at the start of s name, and released s début album. Pop and Ron Asheton wrote most of the tracks. “I didn’t have his riffage, but I uld wre somethg simple,” Pop said.</p><p class="paywall">Those first few years were dangero. Not a vague, somethg-explosive-is-startg-here way but a spilled-blood way. Pop once stage-dived to an empty room, crackg his ont teeth. In 1970, Ccnati, he got his hands on a jar of peanut butter, smeared all over himself, and began <a href=">chuckg gobs of at the crowd</a>. (There is a famo photograph of Pop taken that night, wearg tight jeans, a studd dog llar, and a silver lamé glove, walkg upright on the dience’s raised hands, as if the crowd were a floor ma of people.) He would liberately provoke the most unsavory character the club, search of a reactn. He was often zonked on hero.</p><p class="paywall">Most of Pop’s bandmat were as stoned and as disobedient as he was. In 1971, Stt Asheton, who played dms the group, got blzed on the sedative sebarbal and drove a tall tck full of rented gear unr a low bridge. The top of the tck peeled off, Stt was tossed fifteen yards, and everythg si was stroyed. The story gets told now as a metaphor: the Stoog simply refed to acknowledge the laws of physics.</p><p class="paywall">“Iggy and the Stoog were a giant openg to me,” the sger and wrer Richard Hell told me. In downtown New York, the mid-seventi, Hell veloped a unterpart to the Detro sound, performg wh the punk bands Televisn and Richard Hell and the Voidoids. “He was talkg about thgs as they are, rather than pop nventns,” Hell said. “He took all the monotony and tratn and ma great.” In the eighti and neti, young and disrdant die-rock bands were equally shaped by the Stoog’ mic. Sonic Youth’s <a href=">Kim Gordon</a> scribed to me as “dark, sexy, dangero, radil mic. Those words hardly scribe any mic rock today, but that’s what the Stoog gave —perfect, seemgly effortls rock songs.”</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-3 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">At the time, however, crics and listeners mostly found the band sane—four angry young men brazenly wreckg themselv service of who knows what. Even <em>Rollg Stone</em>, a bullhorn for the unterculture, didn’t entirely dig : “Their mic is loud, borg, tastels, unimagative and childish. I kd of like .” The rock cric Lter Bangs—a fan—wrote, <em>Creem</em>, 1970, “Antisocial art simply don’t f , brothers and sisters. Who wants to be prsed, anyway?”</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layoutasi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-boxprimary"></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></div></div><div class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="adslot adslot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="e16lof"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layoutntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa EOneK body bodyntaer articlebody" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="bodyner-ntaer"><p class="paywall">Yet the band’s tumult accurately reflected the tensns of the time, cludg the latn of the Vietnam War. The Stoog were neher hippi nor pacifists. “Peace and love wasn’t a big part of ,” Stt Asheton said, “<a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Please Kill Me</a>.” Whatever was happeng Michigan felt markedly distant om scen elsewhere. “What I noticed about the Wt Coast bands was that they had awful rhythm sectns,” Kramer told me. “The bassist was jt the guy who uldn’t play guar as well as the other guy. In Detro, the bar was very high— was the home of Motown.” He add, “We were rmed by unnism, and havg an anized voice agast rporate power. It seemed to me that on the Wt Coast everythg was diluted wh a kd of Pollyannaish, utopian visn of the future.”</p><p class="paywall">In 1967, the year the Stoog formed, Detro had been flattened by race rts, which forty-three people were killed, hundreds were jured, and nearly fourteen hundred buildgs were burned, mostly black neighborhoods. “Iggy and the Stoog were makg a eper polil statement that had to do wh disenanchisement and disnnectn om the mastream,” Kramer said. Certaly, a song like the Stoog’ “<a href=">I Wanna Be Your Dog</a>” didn’t share much DNA wh a moony anthem like the 5th Dimensn’s “Aquari/Let the Sunshe In,” one of the bt-sellg sgl of 1969, or even wh most of the lp at Woodstock; the Stoog weren’t astal, arty, or nciliatory. Pop’s lyrics were blunt. “No fun, my babe / No fun,” he sang, his voice flat and clipped.</p><p class="paywall">Pop seemed to regard vlence as a kd of absolutn. He routely mutilated himself onstage, rvg, exposg, and ntortg his body, performg a sort of theatril exorcism for the benef of whoever might be watchg. Though seems clear that Pop was workg, part, by stct, he was also beg tentnal. “There wasn’t much that happened that wasn’t nceived of as a performance,” he said.</p><p class="paywall">It’s possible to fd echo of the Stoog’ penchant for physil and spirual obleratn ntemporary mic; I often enunter a siar sort of purposeful dissolutn the songs of emergg rappers on SoundCloud. Many of the m.c.s praise benzodiazep and other anti-anxiety meditns, and their slurred, pleted livery seems to dite a wish to briefly disappear. They tattoo their fac, a gture that swears off mastream acceptance. Why worry over a future when there might be no future? Watchg someone give to chaos and panic n be palliative for an dience. Still, rebelln that vic will eventually tch up wh a person. Now, Pop told me, his “skeleton is the weak area.” Ocsnally, he a ne.</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropplead-standard-headg paywall">Shortly after we met, Pop offered to acpany me while I moved my rental r. I was drivg a lozenge-shaped gray sedan; he was drivg a 2016 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead upe. He climbed to my ont seat, and polely said nothg about the fact that my cell phone had tomatilly synched to the r’s stereo, and was now blastg “Pump Up the Volume.”</p><p class="paywall">“Do you want to see me?” Pop asked, gturg toward the Rolls-Royce. The terr was a creamy-whe leather. After I prsed a button marked “Door,” the door closed. Pop took down the top, and turned the air-ndng to high. We spent the next two days cisg around like this. Pop is a urteo chffr. When the traffic necsated quick brakg, he shot his arm ont of my cht. He travels wh an extra hat for guts, se the sun or the sea breeze be overwhelmg.</p><p class="paywall">“Have you ever tried to buy a fuckg r? Exce me—a new r?” he asked. “You’ve got to fill out this form, and talk about this, and e down, and get manhandled and asslted, and ‘What’s your job?’ and ‘Who employs you?’ ” He prefers to buy his rs ed. When he first moved to Miami, he acquired a cherry-red 1968 Cadillac DeVille, wh a whe top and brown Ngahy seats. Then he bought an electric-blue 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS, which he scribed as “a motorcycle wh a top on .” That one ught fire every once a while. “You’d see the pat bubble first,” he said. “I had a rag that I ed to beat out wh. I had a date wh a girl who beme my wife, and I took her somewhere nice, and on the way home she said, ‘I thk the r’s on fire!’ ”</p><le-embed name="feature-flt" attrs="[object Object]" childTyp="image" ntentType="llout:feature-flt"><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContaer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embedasset-ntaer"><span class="SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB rponsive-asset AssetEmbedRponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embedrponsive-asset"><picture class="RponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO KhjZz AssetEmbedRponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embedrponsive-asset rponsive-image rponsive-image--expandable"><noscript><img alt="Image may nta Human Person and Torso" class="RponsiveImageContaer-eybHBd fptoWY rponsive-imageimage" src=" srcSet=" 120w, 240w, 320w, 640w, 960w, 1280w, 1600w" siz="100vw"/></noscript></picture></span></div><div class="CaptnWrapper-jSZdqE iTuhkZ ptn AssetEmbedCaptn-fNQBPI fmQnYP asset-embedptn"><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptnText-bHjzlu iUEiRd hWyo iXWezO ptntext">“He was talkg about thgs as they are, rather than pop nventns,” Richard Hell said, of Pop. “He took all the monotony and tratn and ma great.”</span><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptnCred-ejegDm iUEiRd iicloT jbIJNS ptncred">Photograph by Peter Hujar / Condé Nast</span></div></figure></le-embed><p class="paywall">Returng to the Rolls, he said, “What I like about is, mak me feel like everythg’s O.K.” Though he liv wh his wife, Na Alu, a former flight attendant, Conut Grove, an upsle neighborhood oppose Key Bisyne, he spends a few afternoons or evengs a week at a small bungalow that he owns north of Miami, El Portal.

It’s crammed wh folk art, bs of Stoog memorabilia, stacks of books, plastic skulls, amed photographs, throw pillows, a large patg of J Christ wearg a crown of thorns, a Marls jersey wh “Pop” and the number sixty-ne on the back, and assorted mementos om his travels. There are a handful of acrylic patgs that Pop ma himself, cludg a strikg portra of his wife, renred shas of blue, gray, and red. In the vtibule there are amed photos of his mother and father, and a handwrten note om Yoko Ono (“Ask the clouds to remember”). His bedroom ntas an enormo straight-backed woon chair that he bought om Sotheby’s. He believ that is at least four hundred years old. He psed at a black-and-whe photograph of himself, wet and sg on a beach. “This is a favore picture,” he said. “I was on a tour break at a fairly snobby hotel near Nice. And there was a beach photographer who me every day wh her giant mera, and she was photographg people’s kids. And the kids were jumpg and havg so much fun. I thought, That’s not like the photo ssns I do! So one morng I was up early and she was there— was jt her and me, and I said, ‘Would you take my picture?’ ”</p><p class="paywall">The portra is strikg—Pop looks nocent, grateful, and happy. “He’s a real Midwtern gentleman, no matter that wildns that he celebrat,” the filmmaker Jim Jarmch told me. He and Pop have been iends sce the late neteen-eighti, and Pop has appeared several of his films, cludg “Coffee and Cigarett,” “Dead Man,” “The Dead Don’t Die,” and “Gimme Danger,” a documentary about the Stoog. “People thk he’s this wild, shirtls, Dnysian man, nng around the stage like a pony on amphetam, and they overlook the credible pth that he has, and his tert history and art,” Jarmch said.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layoutasi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-boxprimary"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--rail"><div class="adslot adslot--rail" data-no-id="w03al"></div></div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--display-rail" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-unslot nsumer-marketg-unslot--display-rail"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></div></div><div class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="adslot adslot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="3994al"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layoutntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa EOneK body bodyntaer articlebody" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="bodyner-ntaer"><p class="paywall">Pop wak up early the days—by 6 <em class="small">A.M</em>. or so—and his only signifint dulgence is a few glass of we the eveng, ually wh dner. If he is tourg, his prhow rual tak eight or ne hours. “I wake up, cup of ffee, stay bed, clear my md, don’t thk about the show,” he said. “I’m not gog to talk to anybody about anythg. Three hours before, I lie down on the floor and do somethg lled <em>wu chi</em> breathg, where I breathe very ep to my gut for almost a half hour. I’m a ltle high, but not dizzy, and my voice has wined. Then I lightly visualize for about an hour. I h my cu—there’s certa blockg to remember, like a play. Maybe you fd one ltle thg that you n improve, but you’re not sperate about . Then I do Qigong, which loosens up my bod,” he ntued. “My bod gets tight. I’m a ltle gnarly. Then I take a hot shower and I turn all the way ld. And then they pick me up, and take me where I’m gog, and I s there for a uple of hours, and I realize where I am and what I’ve got to do.”</p><p class="paywall">Pop has never imaged a tradnal domtic life for himself. (In 1969, when Pop was twenty-one and livg Ann Arbor, he had a son, Eric, wh Plette Benson. Eric was brought up by his mother, California, and liv Berl now.) In part, this is why matters so much to him that his work rema val. “It’s gotta be fuckg good,” he said. “This is what you’ve sacrificed a lot of thgs for, du, and this is what you were dog when you weren’t always there for other people, so ’d better be good.”</p><p class="paywall">This past year, Pop went on a brief twelve-date tour of Atralia and Europe, startg wh two sold-out shows at the Sydney Opera Hoe. He wore dark pants, thick boots, and a leopard-prt jacket wh no shirt. He charged the edge of the stage, waggled his arms, and galloped circl. A cric om the <em>Guardian</em> lled the performance “superhuman.”</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropplead-standard-headg paywall">Late the day, Pop and I walked down a short stone path and sat a pair of sea-foam-green Adirondack chairs by the edge of the Ltle River. He had changed to a pair of “Three Stoog”-themed pajama pants, a gift om Ron Asheton. He was not wearg a shirt. A large iguana fell om a tree, splashg to the water. Pop lghed when I yelped. A few mut later, he spotted a manatee swimmg by, and epted om his chair, potg excedly. He and his assistant, Spencer, planted most of the tre on the property: Da County p, royal palms, nut palms.</p><p class="paywall">The Stoog released three stud albums: they followed up “The Stoog” wh “Fun Hoe,” 1970, and “Raw Power,” 1973. The first two albums are chaotic, sperate, and bold. “The Stoog,” which was produced by John Cale, of the Velvet Unrground, is the band at s most enomic. By the time that they ma “Raw Power,” Jam Williamson was playg lead guar and Ron Asheton was on bass, and they had rebrand themselv as Iggy and the Stoog. Dave Alexanr had been fired 1970, for showg up too dnk to perform. (He died 1975, at age twenty-seven, om plitns om pancreatis.) “Raw Power” was mixed by David Bowie, and ntas two songs, “Gimme Danger” and “I Need Somebody,” that might reasonably be scribed as ballads.</p><p class="paywall">The Stoog fell apart shortly thereafter, for all the ual reasons: dgs, clashg agendas, poor sal. The band’s fal performance of the neteen-seventi was at the Michigan Palace, Detro, 1974. Pop was antagonizg the room, and beg pelted wh beer, whiskey bottl, bras, and sho. In 1976, a rerdg of the show was released, tled “Metallic K.O.” In 1977, Lter Bangs wrote about the rerd for the <em>Village Voice:</em> “Nobody gets killed, but ‘Metallic K.O.’ is the only rock album I know where you n actually hear hurled beer bottl breakg agast guar strgs.”</p><p class="paywall">Pop was stng out. The dgs, he said, “make you larger and weaker. They water down a person’s ego.” In 1974, he began tryg to qu. “I didn’t really e dgs for the next uple of years, except for the normal amounts of ke that everybody did at that time.” But he creds his addictns—hero, e, pills, psychelics, booze—wh permtg him, for a time, to be stranger and more flamboyant onstage. “I allowed the humor to e where a lot of people wouldn’t have,” he said. He was rebellg agast a certa type of self-serns. “You know, ‘I’m a blu guarist, and what I want to get over this hour is that I n play the blu and you’re gog to believe and make me rich. And, by the way, I’ve got a ge jacket that you n’t get,’ ” Pop said. “That wasn’t me.”</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-5 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">In early 1976, Pop went to see David Bowie at his hotel San Diego, where Bowie asked if he might want to rerd “Sister Midnight,” a slkg, funky song he’d been wrg wh his guarist, Carlos Alomar. A few months later, Pop and Bowie travelled together to the Châte d’Hérouville, an eighteenth-century tate outsi of Paris, to make what beme “The Idt,” Pop’s solo début. Afterward, they moved to an apartment on a tree-led street Wt Berl. This was the begng of a uful and largely dg-ee <a href=">perd</a> for both artists. Bowie released “Low” January, 1977, the first album his celebrated Berl trilogy. Pop released “Lt for Life,” -produced by Bowie, Augt of that year. “I thk Bowie saw Iggy a kd of weird doppelgänger,” the wrer and guarist Lenny Kaye told me. “The rerds they ma Berl pulled them both out of this p that they’d dug themselv to.”</p><p class="paywall">While we sat by the nal, I ma an offhand ment about how Pop is now the last man standg, which I meant a general sense. But he prumed that I was referrg to a photograph of him, Bowie, and Lou Reed, taken by Mick Rock at the Dorchter Hotel, London, 1972. (Reed died 2013, om liver disease; Bowie died 2016, om ncer.) Pop is the middle, wearg a T. Rex shirt and holdg a pack of Lucky Strik between his teeth. “I had crashed that party, nocently, and there I was, so unol that I was grng,” Pop said. “You have the two pillars of the new alt dtry there, and the middle you have this sort of shaky proposn.”</p><le-embed name="feature-flt" attrs="[object Object]" childTyp="image" ntentType="llout:feature-flt"><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContaer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embedasset-ntaer"><span class="SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB rponsive-asset AssetEmbedRponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embedrponsive-asset"><picture class="RponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO KhjZz AssetEmbedRponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embedrponsive-asset rponsive-image rponsive-image--expandable"><noscript><img alt="Image may nta Crowd Audience Human Person Concert and Rock Concert" class="RponsiveImageContaer-eybHBd fptoWY rponsive-imageimage" src=" srcSet=" 120w, 240w, 320w, 640w, 960w, 1280w, 1600w" siz="100vw"/></noscript></picture></span></div><div class="CaptnWrapper-jSZdqE iTuhkZ ptn AssetEmbedCaptn-fNQBPI fmQnYP asset-embedptn"><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptnText-bHjzlu iUEiRd hWyo iXWezO ptntext">The first few years of the Stoog’ performanc were dangero, a spilled-blood way.</span><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptnCred-ejegDm iUEiRd iicloT jbIJNS ptncred">Photograph by Tom Copi / Michael Ochs Archive / Getty Imag</span></div></figure></le-embed><p class="paywall">Some of Pop’s most tertg and idsyncratic work has been ma the past , cludg two rerds—“Prélimair,” om 2009, and “Après,” om 2012—spired by Dixieland jazz, French chanson, mid-century Amerin standards, and the books of <a href=">Michel Houellebecq</a>, Pop’s favore livg novelist.

Josh Homme, the ont man of Queens of the Stone Age, -wrote and produced Pop’s most recent album, “Post Pop Deprsn,” om 2016; was Pop’s first rerd ever to chart the Top Twenty the Uned Stat. “He has been so ahead of his time, for so long,” Homme said. “That’s lonely. Part of the nature of a good ia is that no one around you gets .” He ntued, “Can you name another band that’s taken longer to be unrstood than the Stoog?</p><p class="paywall">“When ‘Post Pop Deprsn’ got good reviews, across the board, he got emotnal, bee that had never occurred before,” Homme said. “He was a pariah at tim his life. The nstant doubt of others might have been a sprgboard for him sometim beg self-stctive.”</p><p class="paywall">I asked Pop about a llaboratn he did wh Cat Power, the Miami-based sger and songwrer, 2012. “I read an article that said she tried to get David Bowie and uldn’t,” he said. “There’s always someone they weren’t able to get. Houellebecq uldn’t get Neil Young. Somebody else, you know—‘We n’t get Tom Was.’ The Safdie brothers said, ‘We uldn’t get Brney Spears.’ ”</p><p class="paywall">The Stoog are an accepted part of the non now, which mak easy to fet how poorly the band’s rerds sold, and how eply reviled they were by both crics and listeners. “It’s not a personal lack of nfince so much as an imposed one,” Pop told me. “For a long time, I wasn’t dog that well on the dtry si of thgs. There weren’t that many people g to shows—sometim there were very few people.” He psed. “I’m more t than dog when to how fortable I allow myself to get, let’s put that way. The phone rgs; I get offered work. And, you know, there’s always my Apple stock,” he said, and lghed. “I have taken pas to diversify outsi of the mic dtry.”</p><p class="paywall">In 2003, the Stoog rned, wh Ron Asheton on guar and Mike Watt, of the Mutemen, on bass. At the time, this seemed like a dicey ia—most of the guys were their fifti, and so much of the Stoog’ power had to do wh a kd of lunatic valy—but somehow the band sound as exhilaratg as did 1969. The rnn magnified the Stoog’ signifince, particularly when they were booked alongsi younger rock bands. In a review the <em>Tim</em> of the band’s set at Coachella, 2003, Neil Strss <a href=">wrote</a>, “As Mr. Pop yowled through a fierce, mblg versn of ‘TV Eye,’ was more than clear that the 33 years sce the song was rerd, the genre has largely been variatns on a theme. And the first two Stoog albums are the theme.”</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-6 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">In 2010, the band was ducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Pop opened his acceptance speech by blastg two middle fgers at the crowd, and then readg om a stack of x rds, clarg who and what he believed was ol: his wife, his bandmat. “All the poor people who actually started rock-and-roll mic are ol,” he said.</p><p class="paywall">The Stoog played their last show 2013. Ron Asheton had died Ann Arbor 2009, of a spected heart attack, and was replaced by Jam Williamson. Stt died the same way, 2014. The Stoog are now functnally kaput—of the origal lp, only Pop is left. That’s a lot of loss, I told him. “It begs to make an imprsn,” he said. “So you start to thk, Well, O.K., what are my probabili? And how would I feel if I was gog to die tomorrow, and I looked at what I was dog wh my life today?” He add, “My only thg is, to spe those who don’t like me, I want to make eighty.”</p><p class="paywall">He is not currently nsirg retirement: “I always wonr, if I stopped dog mic, would I really start drkg tea stead of ffee, and, you know, bsh my teeth more, and all that? Or would I bee, like, an alholic prsive?” Though his recent work might suggt that he is enterg a more ntemplative perd, he is nfint that whatever wildns exists si him is tact. “Don’t tell me that I n’t strip off my shirt and go make a big primive noise,” he said.</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropplead-standard-headg paywall">To prepare for the release of “Free,” Pop agreed to shoot some promotnal vios at Sweat Rerds, an pennt rerd shop Miami’s Ltle Hai neighborhood. He was shirtls, and wearg tailored gray pants and a pair of black loafers. A wardrobe rack ntaed piec om Gucci, Versace, and Sat Lrent. Pop is energetic and amenable while workg, but he is also firm and precise. When the director asked if he uld repeat a gture—shakg his head such a way that his hair whipped back and forth—he said, “I’ll do that two more tim for forty sends each.”</p><p class="paywall">The penultimate track on “Free” is Pop readg Dylan Thomas’s poem “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,” over moody peals of guar, synthizer, and horn. He got the ia to do after an advertisg agency asked him to read the poem for a mercial voice-over. “I thk there’s some sort of bettg pool out there on when I’m gonna croak,” he said. He psed. “It’s alive!” He agreed to read the poem to an iPhone, and sent off. “At first, I risted—I’m not junr high,” he said. But he eventually cid that he liked , re-rerd the vol, and asked Leron Thomas and Noveller to improvise around .</p><p class="paywall">Now was time to shoot a vio. It’s te that the poem has grown creasgly meangls over time, havg been repeated and adapted to so many ane circumstanc. Yet if you n shake off s faiary the central ia—that a person should live vigoroly, unapologetilly—remas germane. Thomas wrote the poem 1947, when he was thirty-three; he died six years later. Pop gathered himself ont of the mera. “Wild men who ught and sang the sun flight / And learn too late they grieved on s way / Do not go gentle to that good night,” he said. The words sound thick and textured his mouth. ♦</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layoutasi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div

After cueg up “<a href=">Dream Baby Dream</a>,” by the experimental punk duo Suici, he sat up his chair and adjted his spectacl. “<a href=">Alan Vega</a>, he had rock and R. & B. mov,” he said. “He remds me a ltle of Bno Mars and Sal Meo.” Between shows, Pop emerged om the ol, dark booth, shirtls and lookg for sunshe. “Wanna go outsi and warm up?” he asked. He disvers new mic for his show by takg the remendatns of iends and openg acts, by readg the shortt, most obscure reviews published the <em>Guardian</em>, or by lookg through the upg ncert listgs published each Friday the <em>Tim</em>. It has kept him awake to the moment.</p><p class="paywall">In early Augt, the eponymo début album om the Stoog, which Pop helped form, 1967, celebrated s fiftieth anniversary. In September, Pop will release “Free,” his eighteenth solo album. “Free” is his most surprisg rerd s, and one of his most llaborative. “I began to reil om guar riffs favor of guarsp, om twangs favor of horns, om back beat favor of space, and, large part, om the effluent of my own md and problems, favor of tryg to terpret the poetry of others,” he wr the ler not. Two of his wrg partners on the album are Leron Thomas, a jazz tmpeter om Hoton, and the poser and filmmaker Sarah Lipstate, who rerds as Noveller.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-1 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">Thomas wrote lyrics for half of the tracks on “Free,” cludg “Dirty Sanchez,” a lewd, tense medatn on ntemporary sexualy that clus the l “Jt bee I like big ts / Don’t mean I like big dicks.” “I was thkg, How do I expla to this guy”—Thomas—“that this is reer suici?” Pop told me. “So I wrote him and said, ‘Look, the bt thg you n do is put some horn on .’ That’s my ntributn: ‘Put some horn on !’ So he horned the sh out of , you know?” Pop went on, “I sang the song once, jt for fun, and I thought, you know, Don’t turn to a total fart here.

In the early neteen-seventi, he was notor for subvertg cultural standards; a ncert by the Stoog often clud bloodshed, along wh the triumphant celebratn of one or more perversns. Pop was btal onstage—barfg, takg his cloth off, draggg furnure or bodi around, slicg his cht wh shards of broken glass. In San Francis, 1974, he was stompg through the crowd when a fan yanked his briefs down and appeared to perform oral sex on him. Stori about Pop’s misbehavr are lewd, ptivatg, and plentiful.</p><p class="paywall">But Pop’s work has grown more terr recent years. The most personal piece on “Free” is “Lov Missg,” a propulsive song about the value of pannship and loyalty. Pop wrote the lyrics. His voice sounds rich and heavy, wh a pth and agily remiscent of Jacqu Brel’s. “Lov absent,” he sgs. “The center won’t hold the ends.”</p><p class="paywall">“He don’t want to re-tread ground that he’s vered before,” Wayne Kramer, the guarist and -founr of the Detro rock band the MC5, told me. “A lifetime of creativy is a hard job, and he’s a soldier.”</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">Iggy Pop was born Jam Osterberg, Jr., 1947, and brought up Ypsilanti, about forty wt of Detro. He is an only child, and was brought up by his mother, Louella, who worked for Bendix, a manufacturer of tomobile and airplane parts, and his father, Jam, who tght English at Fordson High School, Dearborn. For most of Pop’s childhood, the three of them lived a three-hundred-and-sixty-square-foot trailer a mobile-home park, surround by a gravel quarry, vegetable fields, and Pat’s Par Three golf urse. He began playg dms fifth gra. At night, he banged on a uple of bber pads glued to a piece of plywood, until his parents bought him a three-piece dm k and let him set up the trailer’s master bedroom.</p><div class="Contaer-bkChBi byNLHx"></div><p class="paywall">In “<a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Please Kill Me</a>,” Legs McNeil and Gillian McCa’s oral history of punk, his classmate Ron Asheton scrib a teen-age Pop as fairly nventnal: “He hung out wh the popular kids that wore chos, shmere sweaters, and penny loafers. Iggy didn’t smoke cigarett, didn’t get high, didn’t drk.” Every few years, Pop’s high-school-yearbook photograph circulat on the Inter: lookg wy and handsome, wearg a jacket and a tie, he gaz at the mera wh a cur mixture of eagerns and apathy.</p><p class="paywall">In 1963, Pop started a band lled the Iguanas, which played surf rock and vers of the Beatl, the Rollg Ston, and the Kks. Already, Pop had an stct for theatrics. He built a rickety seven-foot riser for his dm k, so that he towered over his bandmat like some sort of magnificent spot. Eventually, Pop got bored dog Brish Invasn vers. He enrolled at the Universy of Michigan, and, soon after, he left the Iguanas for a blu band lled the Prime Movers. The group was led by Michael Erlewe, an aspirg tellectual who read the major poets, knew a b about philosophy, and had experimented wh psychelic dgs. “He was the guy around mp who had the bt rerd llectn, knew how to wear boots, had reportedly hchhiked wh Dylan,” Pop said. Pop’s tast began expandg toward the g.</p><p class="paywall">Pop had e of age as <a href=">Elvis Prley</a> was ascendg the charts, and was moved by Prley’s magism. “I started listeng and watchg, pecially the stuff he took om mstrel shows,” he said. “The footwork, the tongue--cheek humor.” Meanwhile, he told me, “Charlotte Moorman did this thg where she was naked—I don’t thk she was really naked, maybe she was topls—and played the cello.” There are elements of both tradns Pop’s mic: longg, rage, pravy, dissonance, showmanship, charisma, a ltle b of old-fashned song and dance.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><asi class="PersistentAsiWrapper-VGrR daRVRt persistent-asi" style="posn:absolute;top:to;height:to" data-ttid="PersistentAsiWrapper"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-box__primary"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--rail"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--rail" data-no-id="6gzklg"></div></div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--display-rail" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--display-rail"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></asi></div></div><div class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="ijwc4"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa EOneK body body__ntaer article__body" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="body__ner-ntaer"><p class="paywall">Pop had a job at Disunt Rerds, near the central mp.

Chigo blu is rowdy and licent, but rri some of the lonomens of the genre’s untry forebears: J. B. Smh sgg “No More Good Time the World for Me,” Robert Johnson worryg over the hellhound on his trail.

class="paywall">Wayne Kramer relled the show as feelg stantaneo and electric. “I was expectg a band. It was way more than a band. It was primal,” he said. “Simple is not easy. It was the first time I ever saw someone dance and terpret the mic to the gree he was able to, live onstage.” He add, “The mic wasn’t pop, wasn’t rock, was somethg else. It was dark and forebodg and powerful and hypnotic.” In 1969, the band lost the “Psychelic” at the start of s name, and released s début album. Pop and Ron Asheton wrote most of the tracks. “I didn’t have his riffage, but I uld wre somethg simple,” Pop said.</p><p class="paywall">Those first few years were dangero. Not a vague, somethg-explosive-is-startg-here way but a spilled-blood way. Pop once stage-dived to an empty room, crackg his ont teeth. In 1970, Ccnati, he got his hands on a jar of peanut butter, smeared all over himself, and began <a href=">chuckg gobs of at the crowd</a>. (There is a famo photograph of Pop taken that night, wearg tight jeans, a studd dog llar, and a silver lamé glove, walkg upright on the dience’s raised hands, as if the crowd were a floor ma of people.) He would liberately provoke the most unsavory character the club, search of a reactn. He was often zonked on hero.</p><p class="paywall">Most of Pop’s bandmat were as stoned and as disobedient as he was. In 1971, Stt Asheton, who played dms the group, got blzed on the sedative sebarbal and drove a tall tck full of rented gear unr a low bridge. The top of the tck peeled off, Stt was tossed fifteen yards, and everythg si was stroyed. The story gets told now as a metaphor: the Stoog simply refed to acknowledge the laws of physics.</p><p class="paywall">“Iggy and the Stoog were a giant openg to me,” the sger and wrer Richard Hell told me. In downtown New York, the mid-seventi, Hell veloped a unterpart to the Detro sound, performg wh the punk bands Televisn and Richard Hell and the Voidoids. “He was talkg about thgs as they are, rather than pop nventns,” Hell said. “He took all the monotony and tratn and ma great.” In the eighti and neti, young and disrdant die-rock bands were equally shaped by the Stoog’ mic. Sonic Youth’s <a href=">Kim Gordon</a> scribed to me as “dark, sexy, dangero, radil mic. Those words hardly scribe any mic rock today, but that’s what the Stoog gave —perfect, seemgly effortls rock songs.”</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-3 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">At the time, however, crics and listeners mostly found the band sane—four angry young men brazenly wreckg themselv service of who knows what.

The Stoog were neher hippi nor pacifists. “Peace and love wasn’t a big part of ,” Stt Asheton said, “<a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Please Kill Me</a>.” Whatever was happeng Michigan felt markedly distant om scen elsewhere. “What I noticed about the Wt Coast bands was that they had awful rhythm sectns,” Kramer told me. “The bassist was jt the guy who uldn’t play guar as well as the other guy. In Detro, the bar was very high— was the home of Motown.” He add, “We were rmed by unnism, and havg an anized voice agast rporate power. It seemed to me that on the Wt Coast everythg was diluted wh a kd of Pollyannaish, utopian visn of the future.”</p><p class="paywall">In 1967, the year the Stoog formed, Detro had been flattened by race rts, which forty-three people were killed, hundreds were jured, and nearly fourteen hundred buildgs were burned, mostly black neighborhoods. “Iggy and the Stoog were makg a eper polil statement that had to do wh disenanchisement and disnnectn om the mastream,” Kramer said. Certaly, a song like the Stoog’ “<a href=">I Wanna Be Your Dog</a>” didn’t share much DNA wh a moony anthem like the 5th Dimensn’s “Aquari/Let the Sunshe In,” one of the bt-sellg sgl of 1969, or even wh most of the lp at Woodstock; the Stoog weren’t astal, arty, or nciliatory. Pop’s lyrics were blunt. “No fun, my babe / No fun,” he sang, his voice flat and clipped.</p><p class="paywall">Pop seemed to regard vlence as a kd of absolutn. He routely mutilated himself onstage, rvg, exposg, and ntortg his body, performg a sort of theatril exorcism for the benef of whoever might be watchg. Though seems clear that Pop was workg, part, by stct, he was also beg tentnal. “There wasn’t much that happened that wasn’t nceived of as a performance,” he said.</p><p class="paywall">It’s possible to fd echo of the Stoog’ penchant for physil and spirual obleratn ntemporary mic; I often enunter a siar sort of purposeful dissolutn the songs of emergg rappers on SoundCloud. Many of the m.c.s praise benzodiazep and other anti-anxiety meditns, and their slurred, pleted livery seems to dite a wish to briefly disappear. They tattoo their fac, a gture that swears off mastream acceptance. Why worry over a future when there might be no future? Watchg someone give to chaos and panic n be palliative for an dience. Still, rebelln that vic will eventually tch up wh a person. Now, Pop told me, his “skeleton is the weak area.” Ocsnally, he a ne.</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">Shortly after we met, Pop offered to acpany me while I moved my rental r. I was drivg a lozenge-shaped gray sedan; he was drivg a 2016 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead upe. He climbed to my ont seat, and polely said nothg about the fact that my cell phone had tomatilly synched to the r’s stereo, and was now blastg “Pump Up the Volume.”</p><p class="paywall">“Do you want to see me?” Pop asked, gturg toward the Rolls-Royce. The terr was a creamy-whe leather. After I prsed a button marked “Door,” the door closed. Pop took down the top, and turned the air-ndng to high. We spent the next two days cisg around like this. Pop is a urteo chffr. When the traffic necsated quick brakg, he shot his arm ont of my cht. He travels wh an extra hat for guts, se the sun or the sea breeze be overwhelmg.</p><p class="paywall">“Have you ever tried to buy a fuckg r? Exce me—a new r?” he asked. “You’ve got to fill out this form, and talk about this, and e down, and get manhandled and asslted, and ‘What’s your job?’ and ‘Who employs you?’ ” He prefers to buy his rs ed. When he first moved to Miami, he acquired a cherry-red 1968 Cadillac DeVille, wh a whe top and brown Ngahy seats. Then he bought an electric-blue 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS, which he scribed as “a motorcycle wh a top on .” That one ught fire every once a while. “You’d see the pat bubble first,” he said. “I had a rag that I ed to beat out wh. I had a date wh a girl who beme my wife, and I took her somewhere nice, and on the way home she said, ‘I thk the r’s on fire!’ ”</p><le-embed name="feature-flt" attrs="[object Object]" childTyp="image" ntentType="llout:feature-flt"><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContaer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-ntaer"><span class="SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB rponsive-asset AssetEmbedRponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__rponsive-asset"><picture class="RponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO KhjZz AssetEmbedRponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__rponsive-asset rponsive-image rponsive-image--expandable"><noscript><img alt="Image may nta Human Person and Torso" class="RponsiveImageContaer-eybHBd fptoWY rponsive-image__image" src=" srcSet=" 120w, 240w, 320w, 640w, 960w, 1280w, 1600w" siz="100vw"/></noscript></picture></span></div><div class="CaptnWrapper-jSZdqE iTuhkZ ptn AssetEmbedCaptn-fNQBPI fmQnYP asset-embed__ptn"><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptnText-bHjzlu iUEiRd hWyo iXWezO ptn__text">“He was talkg about thgs as they are, rather than pop nventns,” Richard Hell said, of Pop. “He took all the monotony and tratn and ma great.”</span><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptnCred-ejegDm iUEiRd iicloT jbIJNS ptn__cred">Photograph by Peter Hujar / Condé Nast</span></div></figure></le-embed><p class="paywall">Returng to the Rolls, he said, “What I like about is, mak me feel like everythg’s O.K.” Though he liv wh his wife, Na Alu, a former flight attendant, Conut Grove, an upsle neighborhood oppose Key Bisyne, he spends a few afternoons or evengs a week at a small bungalow that he owns north of Miami, El Portal.

It’s crammed wh folk art, bs of Stoog memorabilia, stacks of books, plastic skulls, amed photographs, throw pillows, a large patg of J Christ wearg a crown of thorns, a Marls jersey wh “Pop” and the number sixty-ne on the back, and assorted mementos om his travels. There are a handful of acrylic patgs that Pop ma himself, cludg a strikg portra of his wife, renred shas of blue, gray, and red. In the vtibule there are amed photos of his mother and father, and a handwrten note om Yoko Ono (“Ask the clouds to remember”). His bedroom ntas an enormo straight-backed woon chair that he bought om Sotheby’s. He believ that is at least four hundred years old. He psed at a black-and-whe photograph of himself, wet and sg on a beach. “This is a favore picture,” he said. “I was on a tour break at a fairly snobby hotel near Nice. And there was a beach photographer who me every day wh her giant mera, and she was photographg people’s kids. And the kids were jumpg and havg so much fun. I thought, That’s not like the photo ssns I do! So one morng I was up early and she was there— was jt her and me, and I said, ‘Would you take my picture?’ ”</p><p class="paywall">The portra is strikg—Pop looks nocent, grateful, and happy. “He’s a real Midwtern gentleman, no matter that wildns that he celebrat,” the filmmaker Jim Jarmch told me. He and Pop have been iends sce the late neteen-eighti, and Pop has appeared several of his films, cludg “Coffee and Cigarett,” “Dead Man,” “The Dead Don’t Die,” and “Gimme Danger,” a documentary about the Stoog. “People thk he’s this wild, shirtls, Dnysian man, nng around the stage like a pony on amphetam, and they overlook the credible pth that he has, and his tert history and art,” Jarmch said.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-box__primary"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--rail"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--rail" data-no-id="w03al"></div></div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--display-rail" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--display-rail"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></div></div><div class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="3994al"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa EOneK body body__ntaer article__body" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="body__ner-ntaer"><p class="paywall">Pop wak up early the days—by 6 <em class="small">A.M</em>. or so—and his only signifint dulgence is a few glass of we the eveng, ually wh dner. If he is tourg, his prhow rual tak eight or ne hours. “I wake up, cup of ffee, stay bed, clear my md, don’t thk about the show,” he said. “I’m not gog to talk to anybody about anythg. Three hours before, I lie down on the floor and do somethg lled <em>wu chi</em> breathg, where I breathe very ep to my gut for almost a half hour.

And then they pick me up, and take me where I’m gog, and I s there for a uple of hours, and I realize where I am and what I’ve got to do.”</p><p class="paywall">Pop has never imaged a tradnal domtic life for himself. (In 1969, when Pop was twenty-one and livg Ann Arbor, he had a son, Eric, wh Plette Benson. Eric was brought up by his mother, California, and liv Berl now.) In part, this is why matters so much to him that his work rema val. “It’s gotta be fuckg good,” he said. “This is what you’ve sacrificed a lot of thgs for, du, and this is what you were dog when you weren’t always there for other people, so ’d better be good.”</p><p class="paywall">This past year, Pop went on a brief twelve-date tour of Atralia and Europe, startg wh two sold-out shows at the Sydney Opera Hoe. He wore dark pants, thick boots, and a leopard-prt jacket wh no shirt. He charged the edge of the stage, waggled his arms, and galloped circl. A cric om the <em>Guardian</em> lled the performance “superhuman.”</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">Late the day, Pop and I walked down a short stone path and sat a pair of sea-foam-green Adirondack chairs by the edge of the Ltle River. He had changed to a pair of “Three Stoog”-themed pajama pants, a gift om Ron Asheton. He was not wearg a shirt. A large iguana fell om a tree, splashg to the water. Pop lghed when I yelped. A few mut later, he spotted a manatee swimmg by, and epted om his chair, potg excedly. He and his assistant, Spencer, planted most of the tre on the property: Da County p, royal palms, nut palms.</p><p class="paywall">The Stoog released three stud albums: they followed up “The Stoog” wh “Fun Hoe,” 1970, and “Raw Power,” 1973. The first two albums are chaotic, sperate, and bold. “The Stoog,” which was produced by John Cale, of the Velvet Unrground, is the band at s most enomic. By the time that they ma “Raw Power,” Jam Williamson was playg lead guar and Ron Asheton was on bass, and they had rebrand themselv as Iggy and the Stoog. Dave Alexanr had been fired 1970, for showg up too dnk to perform. (He died 1975, at age twenty-seven, om plitns om pancreatis.) “Raw Power” was mixed by David Bowie, and ntas two songs, “Gimme Danger” and “I Need Somebody,” that might reasonably be scribed as ballads.</p><p class="paywall">The Stoog fell apart shortly thereafter, for all the ual reasons: dgs, clashg agendas, poor sal. The band’s fal performance of the neteen-seventi was at the Michigan Palace, Detro, 1974. Pop was antagonizg the room, and beg pelted wh beer, whiskey bottl, bras, and sho. In 1976, a rerdg of the show was released, tled “Metallic K.O.” In 1977, Lter Bangs wrote about the rerd for the <em>Village Voice:</em> “Nobody gets killed, but ‘Metallic K.O.’ is the only rock album I know where you n actually hear hurled beer bottl breakg agast guar strgs.”</p><p class="paywall">Pop was stng out. The dgs, he said, “make you larger and weaker. They water down a person’s ego.” In 1974, he began tryg to qu. “I didn’t really e dgs for the next uple of years, except for the normal amounts of ke that everybody did at that time.” But he creds his addictns—hero, e, pills, psychelics, booze—wh permtg him, for a time, to be stranger and more flamboyant onstage. “I allowed the humor to e where a lot of people wouldn’t have,” he said. He was rebellg agast a certa type of self-serns. “You know, ‘I’m a blu guarist, and what I want to get over this hour is that I n play the blu and you’re gog to believe and make me rich. And, by the way, I’ve got a ge jacket that you n’t get,’ ” Pop said. “That wasn’t me.”</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-5 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">In early 1976, Pop went to see David Bowie at his hotel San Diego, where Bowie asked if he might want to rerd “Sister Midnight,” a slkg, funky song he’d been wrg wh his guarist, Carlos Alomar. A few months later, Pop and Bowie travelled together to the Châte d’Hérouville, an eighteenth-century tate outsi of Paris, to make what beme “The Idt,” Pop’s solo début. Afterward, they moved to an apartment on a tree-led street Wt Berl. This was the begng of a uful and largely dg-ee <a href=">perd</a> for both artists. Bowie released “Low” January, 1977, the first album his celebrated Berl trilogy. Pop released “Lt for Life,” -produced by Bowie, Augt of that year. “I thk Bowie saw Iggy a kd of weird doppelgänger,” the wrer and guarist Lenny Kaye told me. “The rerds they ma Berl pulled them both out of this p that they’d dug themselv to.”</p><p class="paywall">While we sat by the nal, I ma an offhand ment about how Pop is now the last man standg, which I meant a general sense. But he prumed that I was referrg to a photograph of him, Bowie, and Lou Reed, taken by Mick Rock at the Dorchter Hotel, London, 1972. (Reed died 2013, om liver disease; Bowie died 2016, om ncer.) Pop is the middle, wearg a T. Rex shirt and holdg a pack of Lucky Strik between his teeth. “I had crashed that party, nocently, and there I was, so unol that I was grng,” Pop said. “You have the two pillars of the new alt dtry there, and the middle you have this sort of shaky proposn.”</p><le-embed name="feature-flt" attrs="[object Object]" childTyp="image" ntentType="llout:feature-flt"><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContaer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-ntaer"><span class="SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB rponsive-asset AssetEmbedRponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__rponsive-asset"><picture class="RponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO KhjZz AssetEmbedRponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__rponsive-asset rponsive-image rponsive-image--expandable"><noscript><img alt="Image may nta Crowd Audience Human Person Concert and Rock Concert" class="RponsiveImageContaer-eybHBd fptoWY rponsive-image__image" src=" srcSet=" 120w, 240w, 320w, 640w, 960w, 1280w, 1600w" siz="100vw"/></noscript></picture></span></div><div class="CaptnWrapper-jSZdqE iTuhkZ ptn AssetEmbedCaptn-fNQBPI fmQnYP asset-embed__ptn"><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptnText-bHjzlu iUEiRd hWyo iXWezO ptn__text">The first few years of the Stoog’ performanc were dangero, a spilled-blood way.</span><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptnCred-ejegDm iUEiRd iicloT jbIJNS ptn__cred">Photograph by Tom Copi / Michael Ochs Archive / Getty Imag</span></div></figure></le-embed><p class="paywall">Some of Pop’s most tertg and idsyncratic work has been ma the past , cludg two rerds—“Prélimair,” om 2009, and “Après,” om 2012—spired by Dixieland jazz, French chanson, mid-century Amerin standards, and the books of <a href=">Michel Houellebecq</a>, Pop’s favore livg novelist. Pop is very nimble wh other people’s material, able to land stantly on the emotnal center of a lyric or a melody. “When Amerins bothered to review those two albums, they said ‘hilarly bad croong,’ ” Pop said. “I n’t sg like Michael Bublé—I know that!

Josh Homme, the ont man of Queens of the Stone Age, -wrote and produced Pop’s most recent album, “Post Pop Deprsn,” om 2016; was Pop’s first rerd ever to chart the Top Twenty the Uned Stat. “He has been so ahead of his time, for so long,” Homme said. “That’s lonely. Part of the nature of a good ia is that no one around you gets .” He ntued, “Can you name another band that’s taken longer to be unrstood than the Stoog?</p><p class="paywall">“When ‘Post Pop Deprsn’ got good reviews, across the board, he got emotnal, bee that had never occurred before,” Homme said. “He was a pariah at tim his life. The nstant doubt of others might have been a sprgboard for him sometim beg self-stctive.”</p><p class="paywall">I asked Pop about a llaboratn he did wh Cat Power, the Miami-based sger and songwrer, 2012. “I read an article that said she tried to get David Bowie and uldn’t,” he said. “There’s always someone they weren’t able to get. Houellebecq uldn’t get Neil Young. Somebody else, you know—‘We n’t get Tom Was.’ The Safdie brothers said, ‘We uldn’t get Brney Spears.’ ”</p><p class="paywall">The Stoog are an accepted part of the non now, which mak easy to fet how poorly the band’s rerds sold, and how eply reviled they were by both crics and listeners. “It’s not a personal lack of nfince so much as an imposed one,” Pop told me. “For a long time, I wasn’t dog that well on the dtry si of thgs. There weren’t that many people g to shows—sometim there were very few people.” He psed. “I’m more t than dog when to how fortable I allow myself to get, let’s put that way. The phone rgs; I get offered work. And, you know, there’s always my Apple stock,” he said, and lghed. “I have taken pas to diversify outsi of the mic dtry.”</p><p class="paywall">In 2003, the Stoog rned, wh Ron Asheton on guar and Mike Watt, of the Mutemen, on bass. At the time, this seemed like a dicey ia—most of the guys were their fifti, and so much of the Stoog’ power had to do wh a kd of lunatic valy—but somehow the band sound as exhilaratg as did 1969. The rnn magnified the Stoog’ signifince, particularly when they were booked alongsi younger rock bands. In a review the <em>Tim</em> of the band’s set at Coachella, 2003, Neil Strss <a href=">wrote</a>, “As Mr. Pop yowled through a fierce, mblg versn of ‘TV Eye,’ was more than clear that the 33 years sce the song was rerd, the genre has largely been variatns on a theme. And the first two Stoog albums are the theme.”</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-6 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">In 2010, the band was ducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Pop opened his acceptance speech by blastg two middle fgers at the crowd, and then readg om a stack of x rds, clarg who and what he believed was ol: his wife, his bandmat. “All the poor people who actually started rock-and-roll mic are ol,” he said.</p><p class="paywall">The Stoog played their last show 2013. Ron Asheton had died Ann Arbor 2009, of a spected heart attack, and was replaced by Jam Williamson. Stt died the same way, 2014. The Stoog are now functnally kaput—of the origal lp, only Pop is left. That’s a lot of loss, I told him. “It begs to make an imprsn,” he said. “So you start to thk, Well, O.K., what are my probabili? And how would I feel if I was gog to die tomorrow, and I looked at what I was dog wh my life today?” He add, “My only thg is, to spe those who don’t like me, I want to make eighty.”</p><p class="paywall">He is not currently nsirg retirement: “I always wonr, if I stopped dog mic, would I really start drkg tea stead of ffee, and, you know, bsh my teeth more, and all that? Or would I bee, like, an alholic prsive?” Though his recent work might suggt that he is enterg a more ntemplative perd, he is nfint that whatever wildns exists si him is tact. “Don’t tell me that I n’t strip off my shirt and go make a big primive noise,” he said.</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">To prepare for the release of “Free,” Pop agreed to shoot some promotnal vios at Sweat Rerds, an pennt rerd shop Miami’s Ltle Hai neighborhood. He was shirtls, and wearg tailored gray pants and a pair of black loafers. A wardrobe rack ntaed piec om Gucci, Versace, and Sat Lrent. Pop is energetic and amenable while workg, but he is also firm and precise. When the director asked if he uld repeat a gture—shakg his head such a way that his hair whipped back and forth—he said, “I’ll do that two more tim for forty sends each.”</p><p class="paywall">The penultimate track on “Free” is Pop readg Dylan Thomas’s poem “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,” over moody peals of guar, synthizer, and horn. He got the ia to do after an advertisg agency asked him to read the poem for a mercial voice-over. “I thk there’s some sort of bettg pool out there on when I’m gonna croak,” he said. He psed. “It’s alive!” He agreed to read the poem to an iPhone, and sent off. “At first, I risted—I’m not junr high,” he said. But he eventually cid that he liked , re-rerd the vol, and asked Leron Thomas and Noveller to improvise around .</p><p class="paywall">Now was time to shoot a vio. It’s te that the poem has grown creasgly meangls over time, havg been repeated and adapted to so many ane circumstanc. Yet if you n shake off s faiary the central ia—that a person should live vigoroly, unapologetilly—remas germane. Thomas wrote the poem 1947, when he was thirty-three; he died six years later. Pop gathered himself ont of the mera. “Wild men who ught and sang the sun flight / And learn too late they grieved on s way / Do not go gentle to that good night,” he said. The words sound thick and textured his mouth. ♦</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div
