Littleness Is a Disease and This Is Just the Symptoms. There Are so Many

 75 Years Ago Today

Monday 21st of April 1947
Musician Iggy Pop is born as James Newell Osterberg in Muskegon, Michigan, United States.

He is a musical entertainer and songwriter whose signature record, the album of the Year (2011), was awarded multiple Grammy awards for "Best Pop Album" (2011). Pop has sung through three albums, featuring "Loser of the Year", "Bold Mother", and "The Best in Music." In 2014, he was nominated for an Academy Award for his "Fantastic Five" music video, performed at the LA Film Festival.

Iggy Pop's songs inspired a Broadway movie called Belly Up!, when the star performed lyrics from his songs in a play about "eating, sleeping and being lonely." The movie (now titled "Belly Up!", due to his performance on the movie) is also in the works.

He was inducted into the National Recording Association Hall of Fame on 12th March 1949. Prior to his debut studio album (2004), pop was only known for his hits "Sweet Little Lick" and "Bad Rap" but the name he used for his song, with its title, came directly from the character of Lippy, also named Lippy.

Pop has performed, in his own words:

Littles "Littleness is a disease, and this is just the symptoms. There are so many."
