Re: (TV) Iggy

["Andy Ferguson" <andy@cheesemaker.fsnet.co.uk>]

Iggy Pop has been a big influence on my life and music . My group is heavily
influenced by the Ig , we currently do 2 of his songs when we choose to do
any covers - Funtime and Dum Dum Boys . On a particularly good night we
close with a rip-roaring version of Funtime .
