he has no body fat, he's just guh.
I will say, the fact that the man is in that kinda shape at his age (and given the life he's lead) is pretty amazing.
Plus, I remember him on Letterman back in the 80s where he did his full-on run out in audience, give it his all performance, and then when he talked to Dave just seemed like this gee-whiz midwest kid with a big grin.
Age has pretty much done in the gee-whiz, but the give it all is still there by all accounts (and muscleculture). He's like Keith Richards crossed with Tigger.

Is that the one where Dave opened with "So, how're you doing Iggy?" and Iggy replied, "Doin' alright. Suckin' and fuckin'."
And I just don't get most cases of short-story->full-length-film....
I read somewhere, I forget who it was, that a short story was the best thing to adapt a movie from. I guess because it's long enough to provide the idea and characters but short enough that you don't have to adhere to it slavishly.
Memento
was based on a short story. It may have been a Christopher Nolan interview, actually.
It's weird how everything in Hollywood seems so damn incestuous--Elijah Wood might be playing Iggy Pop, and his former costar (Liv Tyler) grew up thinking that Iggy was her father. Just struck me as strange how that connects.

I can kinda' see that. But in this case, most all the movie is not in the story. (I'm gonna guess that at least 75% of the movie was not based on the story.) It really is a simple story that could be turned into 10 or 15 minutes of film.
and his former costar (Liv Tyler) grew up thinking that Iggy was her father.
No, no. She thought Todd Rundgren was her father. A not unlikely possibility considering her Mom was living with Todd all through her early childhood. Her Mom, Bebe Buell, was also lovers with Elvis Costello during his Armed Forces album and several of EC's songs are about her.
Also, there's no fuckin' way Elijah's going to be Iggy Pop. No. Way.
That's right. I got my musicians confused (and so did her mom, it appears!).
and so did her mom, it appears!)
Bebe Buell's probably the most famous groupie of all. Well, okay, maybe Pamela Des Barres.
I'm With The Band
is a great read, btw.
Was she married to Michael Des Barres (whom I only know from To Sir, With Love)?
I think Gloria Plaster Caster would edge her out too.
