DETROIT (AP) — Iggy Pop was starting to feel like the Susan Lucci of rock ’n’ roll.Just as the veteran soap actress believed she might never win a Daytime Emmy, the godfather of punk was certain his groundbreaking band The Stooges wouldn’t ever earn a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Well, as it turns out, Lucci got her gold statue on the 19th try. And Iggy and the boys finally are getting their shot to search and destroy at Monday’s induction ceremony, on their eighth attempt. “At least I won’t be nominated anymore,” Pop said, laughing.
He believed The Stooges never would get into the Rock Hall “right up until the day before somebody called me.”
