I’m not versed enough in jazz to render an opinion so I’ll give what appears to be a classic 5 stars. I’d only listen to this as background music.

I could not be more familiar with this amazing album. I’ve been listening to it for nearly 40 years.

Iggy Pop reads on paper like his stuff would be right up my alley but I just can’t get into him.

No. In 1987 I went to an amusement park and hundreds of people there were wearing Guns-N-Roses concert tees—I guess there had been a concert there night before. The shirts came in two flavors, censored and not censored. The not censored one depicted an unconscious girl sitting in a dirty alley learning against the wall with her blouse pulled open revealing her tits and her panties around her ankles. On the wall, graffiti read “Guns-N-Roses was here”. I haven’t looked up this shirt to see if my memory was correct, but I saw them enough while waiting in lines full of families as the band’s troglodytic fans wore this rape fantasy obliviously or on-purpose but by all means proudly. I had never heard of the band before but I thought, these guys suck to have thought that shirt was funny or clever. Almost 40 years later, thanks to this site, I have finally listened to them and discovered to my zero surprise, that every song on the album other than the ones written for the radio sounds like it was written by a manchild who thought depicting a rape victim dumped in an alley with graffiti that reads “Guns-N-Roses was here” was funny and clever. Fuck off, Guns-N-Roses and Guns-N-Roses fans.

Too bad he didn’t graduate. Wasted potential. He could have climbed the ladder at the Gap, all the way to VP of khakis and spared us so much of his shit.
