“Knucklehead”

That CD (Iggy’s “Naughty Little Doggie”) is an ashtray. — Tommy “Popeye” McMorrow
I like it. — TAG
Knucklehead what can you do
What can you do?
— James Osterberg
Iggy is wearing a helmet on the album cover. An obvious reference to the doofus who inspired the song Knucklehead. Yours Sincerely. (I told this to myself and I agree.)
One last item: Iggy is America’s Poet Laureate, the Bard of Detroit. People think Bill Shakespeare was the best poet. Ha! Nonsense. Compare any of Shaky Bill’s sonnets to Iggy’s “Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell” (from Raw Power) and you’ll see what I mean. There’s simply no comparison. This case is closed.

Pictured: my favourite jacket. A Triumph Braddan armoured riding jacket from Baxter Cycle – the mere fact that it’s festooned with the word “Triumph” in several locations proves it is better than any other jacket – HAWK, Klim, Joe Rocket, Alpinestars or, God forbid, Harley-Davidson. (What does a company that makes tractors know about motorcycle jackets?)
