In a recent interview about his upcoming All Tomorrow’s Parties festival, Jim Jarmusch mentioned plans to shoot a documentary on the King of Rock and Roll — Iggy Pop.
Jarmusch told Pitchfork, “It’s something Iggy asked me to do. There’s a rule in my household that if Iggy is playing anywhere within 90 miles, we go. It’s going to take a few years though. There’s no rush on it.”
MEANWHILE, has everyone seen that photographic time line of Iggy Pop’s body that’s been goin’ around the Internet? I once read an interview where the man claimed his Bruce Lee-like physique is maintained by practicing 40-minutes of Qi Gong each day. Inspired to learn the fundamental exercises of tai chi, I downloaded a series of videos with a Qi Gong master (i.e. some guy with a pony tail) and began my meditative path towards washboard abs and punk rockness. It was around this time that I read about “Qi Gong-Induced Psychosis,” or as the Chinese call it, “Zouhuo rumo.” Turns out, unsupervised Qi Gong (i.e. in your bedroom, streaming videos w/ pony tail bro) can result in mental disorders. Holy shit!! Imagine getting into a ‘thang’ and never coming out.
QUESTION: IGGY POP, CATE BLANCHETT & JIM JARMUSCH WALK INTO A BAR??
