Pussy Power

Iggy Pop’s album Brick by Brick has several vulgar songs where (for a change) the crude language actually enhances their enjoyment.  They include “Butt Town”, “Pussy Power”, and “I Won’t Crap Out”.  “Starry Night” has verse after verse of putdowns of the Hollywood scenesters and hangers-on that always make me smile when I hear them:  “I don’t care about your city / Or your fat income / I don’t care about your Vanity Fair / Or your f--king sitcom”; “Take your building and your income / And shove it up your ass / Take your building and your income / And stuff it with your cash”; and “Which country is the strongest? / Who plays the best guitar? / Who f--king cares / Under the stars”.
