Punk Rock at Carnegie Hall
Iggy Pop
By: Anthony Korybski
The famous punk singer known as Iggy Pop will forever go down in history after taking a fundraiser with classy singers to a whole new level. Iggy Pop didn’t disappoint his fans who were there for him but stunned everyone else in the audience and the other performers.
In the legendary hall there the fundraiser was that for Tibet in what was called the Tibet House Benefit Concert, an annual event that raises money to preserve the country’s threatened culture.
Rolling Stones Magazine said, “He completely defiled the place. He strutted across the stage in tight black jeans, ass crack fully visible, and then dove into the crowd (nobody caught him). As the song later descended into chaos, he smashed his mike stand into the iconic, wood-floored stage repeatedly, trying to make a dent. He gave up and hurled the stand at the grand piano.”
His antics definitely shunned is bad boy punk image but he could of showed a better light on himself by doing this benefit concert and possibly show himself as a caring collective calm person. Yes that may be the total opposite of what he is but the turn around and good publicity could have been awesome, but that’s just not his style. I wouldn’t be expecting anyone picking him up for another benefit concert anytime soon.
