I don't know if anyone has mentioned this on here but while looking at the BBC website I noticed a little feature about Iggy Pop turining 60. The BBC feature was gushing a bit about Iggy's hedonistic past but who'd have thought he'd have made it to pensionable age back in the mid '70's. Cheers!

The sainted Iggy has another 10 years to wait!

Old Age Pensions Act: The Act provided for a non-contributory old age pension for persons over the age of 70.

Anyway age is a stste of mind and Iggy will always be 19!

Some more Iggy Pop trivia I was reading the Metro newspaper this morning on my way into work and there was a story about a Iggy Pop inspired garden at this years Chelsea Flower show. Not really a gardening buff but I'm tempted to pop along and have a look at it. Here are a few links about it cheers!:thumb:
