Re: Solo/Frontman Iggy Pop Vs Lou Reed Round 33

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?
I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you've got Iggy Pop?
People think it's all about noise and trouble and toplessness and all that shite, which is not to be ignored, but what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't listen to it. After all, we're not fucking stupid. At least, we're not that fucking stupid. Take the best orgasm you ever had, multiply it by a thousand and you're still nowhere near it. When you're listening you have only one worry: neighbors complaints. When you're not you are suddenly obliged to listen to all sorts of other shite. Adele, too whinney. Dizzee Rascal the loud mouth fucker. Wee little Justin Beiber. JL-fucking-S. You have to worry about some football team that never fucking wins at Stoke, or in Europe. None of that matters when you're at a sincere and truthful Iggy gigg.
