Survived a Mass Shooting: Maddy Wilford

Iggy Pop is the excentric alter-ego created by musician Jim Osterberg. Iggy is mostly known for being the hyper-aggressive lead singer of the STOOGES and for the albums he recorded with David Bowie. He is also often referred to as the "Godfather of Punk."

Iggy became famous not only for his new punk sound and his androgynous look but also for his antics on stage, which include cutting himself, rubbing himself with peanut butter, flashing the audience, humping various objects, and leaping into the audience.

But these antics hid a painful addiction to drugs that sabotaged his career and his life for years. He nearly died numerous times.

Listen to learn more about his personal struggles and how he overcame them.

His music inspired David Bowe, Nirvana, The Clash, the Sex Pistols, the White Stripes, Nine-in-Nails, the Rollings Stones, Arrowsmith, and more.

And, before you go...your car temperature gauge is a thermistor, not a thermometer. It's meant to measure the temperature of your engine. It doesn't accurately reflect the actual temperature inside or outside your car. Just in case you're wondering.
