IF ...swamp

If one reviews the variances of Iggy Pop's life from trailer park to punk godfathering to addictions to mental institutions and back again, one is endlessly intrigued by his rise and return and rise again from his personal swamps of existence.
He also makes a darn good swamp creature, visually...

  2. Ok now there's some creepy awesomeness. Such great eyes! And great (icky) hair. And a seriously slimey place. Is that a noose settled loosely about him?

    1. Thank you Cindy.
      --and no, not a noose, those are just lazy vines dragging across the scene... ~swamp signifiers.

    2. Ok, but it could be a noose, which would be very symbolic of... something. ;)
