Many Happy Returns and All The Best to the godfather of punk
James Newell Osterberg (born April 21, 1947) aka Iggy Pop! 
One of Iggy's greatest love songs here performed by REM and Patti Smith et al! They played I Wanna Be Your Dog at their Rock and Roll hall of fame induction. Watch for Peter Buck throwing a monitor off the stage!
