I never knew about this until now. A side of Iggy I've never seen:





IGGY POP’S EMOTIONAL CONDOLENCES TO THE PARENTS OF STIV BATORS



When I think of Iggy and Stiv together, I might think of their mutual penchant for self-mutilation and animalistic performances. That it was supposed to have been Stiv who passed Iggy that famous jar of Skippy. Or maybe I think of midwestern punk and my heart swells with vulgar, snotty pride. At the very least, I think of their unbelievable drug stories I read about in Cheetah Chrome’s book. What I tend to forget is that they were friends and colleagues. It’s an unsettlingly earnest moment to watch, but when you get past the creeping threat of voyeurism one tends to feel at such a naked display of emotion, the warmth and sincerity of the eulogy is one of the most loving moments in punk rock.

Love and respect!

WOW! Amazing. Class act Mr. Pop. Class act!

Iggy's another tribute to Stiv - he plays acoustic and trashy version of
Nightclubbing and says: " this one goes out to Stiv Bators."
