''In American life, because it's so hypercompetitive, what happens when you're finally useless to everyone except hopefully not yourself? What happens then? And can you continue to be of use to yourself? I had a kind of character in mind. It was sort of a cross between myself and a military veteran'' the veteran singer said.
Iggy Pop had undergone a lot of hardships in his career before making it big. In 1971, he met David Bowie at Max's Kansas City which is a nightclub and restaurant in New York City. The alliance gave birth to ''Raw Power'' the third studio album of ''The Stooges'' which was released on Feb. 7, 1973.
