Earplugs and Eyeliner: The Iggy Pop Story
1 hour
Another chance to hear a programme first broadcast in 2005, in which Pretenders vocalist and Iggy Pop fan Chrissie Hynde describes the evolution of James Newell Osterberg from diligent schoolboy to rock icon.
The programme features contributions from Glen Matlock, who worked with Iggy on the 1980 album Soldier and was the bassist in the Sex Pistols, who covered the Stooges’ No Fun, journalist Chris Charlesworth, who has vivid memories of time spent with Iggy, biographer Joe Ambrose, photographer Mick Rock, Boy George, and writer and broadcaster Miranda Sawyer.
