    Paul Trynka
  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Broadway Books, 2007
  • Description

    Trynka has conducted over 250 interviews, has traveled to Michigan, New York, California, London, and Berlin, and, in the course of the last decade or so at Mojo, has spoken to dozens of musicians who count Iggy as an influence. This has allowed him to depict, via real-life stories from members of bands like New Order and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iggy?s huge influence on the music scene of the ?70s, ?80s, and ?90s, as well as to portray in unprecedented detail Iggy?s relationship with his enigmatic friend and mentor David Bowie. Iggy Pop: Open Up and Bleed is a truly definitive work?not just about Iggy Pop?s life and music but also about the death of the hippie dream, the influence of drugs on human creativity, the nature of comradeship, and the depredations of fame.

    Simi Linton
  • Publication Details

    Book, University of Michigan Press, 2006
  • Description

    “I read My Body Politic with admiration, sometimes for the pain that all but wept on the page, again for sheer exuberant friendships, for self-discovery, political imagination, and pluck. . . . . . . Linton shows us how she learned to ‘absorb disability,’ and to pilot a new and interesting body. The stories in My Body Politic are populated with richly drawn portraits of Linton’s disabled comrades, people of conviction and lusty exuberance who dance, play-and organize–with passion and commitment. Linton weaves a tale that shows disability to be an ordinary part of the twists and turns of life and, simultaneously, a unique vantage point on the world. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
