Jesus, the absolute cancer that pops up all over this site. You have to hunt for what to click to close these things again and again and again as the position of the content wildly shifts all over the place just for the privilege of seeing some creepy old guy grabbing his nipple. Great "hacker news" submission my dude. If dang were on top of things he'd ban not only OP but every account that upvoted this submission as well, they surely must be bots as no human would upvote this shit.

If this story catches your eye, be sure to listen to The Ongoing History Of New Music, especially this one:

https://omny.fm/shows/ongoing-history-of-new-music/why-punk-...

But he's talked about Iggy in a few other episodes as well.

If you have any interest at all in music, this is the best podcast you'll ever find.

Guess you could call Muskegon 'outside Detroit' but it's quite a ways outside! But to be truthful no one ever heard of him until he moved to Ann Arbor, I think when he was in middle school. But my friends in Muskegon are still quite proud, only rock star to come from their town.

If you haven't seen it Anthony Bourdain did a great interview with him.

Is there a way to read this article without the popups and other dark patterns that make it impossible to finish reading?

Why are we writing and reading positively-tilted stories about child rapists like Iggy Pop? Why are these white 70s musicians getting a free pass on sex crimes? Especially the only one with the shamelessness to record a song about raping a child?

Do you have more details than an unverified Genius annotation?
