In the latest edition of Penthouse, Iggy Pop claims that he "still acts like a cat on acid" after every show -- even though his 58-year-old body is completely sore, but Iggy Pop, the "Godfather of Punk," is an ageless rocker who recently reunited with his band The Stooges. Back on tour again, Iggy recently took a break from performing to chat with celebrity interviewer Chaunce Hayden for the February Penthouse interview. Penthouse reports that Mr. Pop is still quite explosive about subjects such as drugs, U2 lead singer Bono, New York City and so-called white music.

Some choice quotes from Iggy include: "People are starving in general, especially when you get to white music, which just increasingly sucks. U2 is a good band. There is a certain kind of reassuring white rock and some people do well with that."

On New York and its music scene: "I think the worse NY is doing, both socially and economically, the better the music. Unfortunately, it seems like NY is doing awfully well these days!" Iggy's sound bites don't stop there and this article is a must-read, even if you've never even heard of The Stooges!

Also in the February edition, T.A.T.U. lead singers Lena and Julia claim they're not lesbians in this month's Q&A, even though fans have reportedly seen them lock lips on more than one occasion. Canadian songstress Fefe Dobson, often compared to Gwen Stefani and mentored by Joan Jett, is profiled in the issue as well.
