Iggy Pop Maintains King of Punk Crown at Lollapalooza

"Hello, motherf***ers! We are the f***ing Stooges!" an extra-psyched Iggy Pop screamed from the stage during the punk legends' Day Three Lollapalooza performance. Pop, who declared his excitement at playing "Lollapopapalooza," took the stage shirtless and with more piss and vinegar than most of the frontmen one-third his age at the festival, and launched into 'I Wanna Be Your Dog.' With his infamous crazy-eyed glare, Pop asked the crowd if anyone was thirsty. Not that he really cared, mind you. The eccentric frontman then doused himself with a bottle of water and chucked one at the audience -- not to help, but just for kicks.
The performance stood firm as Pop's declaration that, despite skeptical reviews of the recently reunited Stooges, the 60-year-old rocker is still the King of Punk. And it seems that after all this time, the amphetamines still haven't worn off.
