About the Author

Iggy Pop, the iconic frontman of the Stooges and a pioneering force in punk and rock music, has channeled his raw energy and rebellious spirit into the literary realm with his debut book, 'Oh Yes We Can Love: A History of Glam Rock.' Born James Newell Osterberg Jr. in 1947 in Muskegon, Michigan, Iggy rose to fame in the late 1960s with his visceral performances and provocative lyrics that defined proto-punk. Now, as an author, he explores the glittering, gender-bending world of glam rock, drawing from his intimate experiences rubbing shoulders with legends like David Bowie and Marc Bolan. This work not only chronicles the movement's explosive rise in the 1970s but also reflects Iggy's own evolution from underground provocateur to enduring cultural icon, offering readers a backstage pass to an era of unapologetic excess and artistic innovation.
