![]() I went down to Grenada and looked at a place, and I realised that if I lived in a Grenadian manner I'd be nothing but a blah. There was a time when I wanted to get out of the Western world. I don’t really want to sit around till I’m 90 Iggy Pop: I’ve actually decided to have a shorter life. I'm 70, so sometimes a little voice is going, "Just take it easy." I did that, but I want to be happy." And that's a whole different deal. The problem being: for years I was struggling - first to prove that I had any talent, then to create some skills and finally to fulfil it reasonably. IP: I'm starting to get areas of professional contentment, but that stops at the county line it does not do anything for me personally except that it solves a problem. I'm actually going tomorrow.ĪB: You just released one of the best-received albums of your life, had what looked to me like a really triumphant tour and there you are out on the road again. It's so easy with them, no publicists controlling messages, no agendas, just two guys telling it like it is.Īnthony Bourdain: I'm increasingly curious about the subject of contentment. Anyway, maybe you want a beer instead?" Iggy asks, still amused. "We've seen some alligators swim by over the years, but chances are low. I didn't see that coming as a kid." We're sitting outside in the sun, it's hot and humid and I'm tempted to put my feet in the water. Then we had him on my show and we ate health food together. "I've been a fan of Iggy And The Stooges since the beginning and was so starstruck it took me three days to walk up to him and introduce myself. He has already tossed his shirt, displaying jiu jitzu-toned abs and tattoos, and is telling the story of how they met a few years ago on holiday. It's quite real out here." Anthony Bourdain is smoking by the stream in the backyard. He chuckles when we mention the homicide. ![]() It's a benign looking street, lined with bungalows and lush gardens in Miami's El Portal neighbourhood, where Iggy Pop has a little place he uses for work and hanging out. A crime scene on the block before makes us run late.
