Steve Jones' guitar fits beautifully. The sound is crystal clear and haunting.<br /><br />The lyrics are deep in places, or just funny as "Squarehead".<br /><br />I had never though about Iggy Pop's lyrics in the light of Crowley's Qabalah, although I can see the link with John Coltrane's lyrics clearly enough. <br /><br />I would love to hear that performance piece for John Cage by Iggy. Is is available anywhere?LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040460590165797632noreply@blogger.com
