IGGY POP & the STOOGES Homes & Beginnings In ANN ARBOR, MI

[@charlesdemean3055]

The Group was originally named "The Psychedelic Stooges".....The Iguanas were great 60s garage band. Iggy was a great drummer. The Iguanas went as a backing band on Michigan Top 40 group tours. Have a poster signed & sent to me by Mary Weiss. Gig is in Lake Orion, upper Michigan. The Iguanas backed up the Shanghai Las. Among others. He was recruited by the Erlewine Brothers Michael ( All Music Guide) & Dan ( master guitar builder / repair ),..to be the drummer in "The Prime Movers". They were the premier show band in A2. Blues unit. Great live group. That lead us to the start of the Stooges. Iggy's epiphany, seeing Jim Morrison. The barrel drums are something I'll never forget. Kudos on that. The MC5 & The Stooges ruled The Grande Ballroom. National & UK bands got blown off stage by them. We weren't into the Psychedelic West Coast doodling. If the music doesn't pound your head & and body, you're dead. Marshals on 10. Your ears rang for 3 days. We had Punk & "Metal" before they existed. Michigan is a peninsula & much of our great music was self-contained. Check out Bob Seger & Last Heard's singles on Hideout. It doesn't get any better than these 3 bands. So glad The Igster is keeping that period's continuation. Thanks for the great post, surprised I didn't get it earlier. Btw that trailer park is in Ypsilanti, home of Eastern Mich. U. 5 miles from A2. 60,000 college students packed together. Great scene late 60s. Spent a lot of time in Discount. They rocked. Everybody rocked. The Blues scene in A2 was fabulous, as well.

That’s right brother. You know your true facts. We was all led to this video for a reason. I’m 26 now, but my great grandfather is still alive. I’m mixed, my great grandfather on my Hispanic side was a huge psychedelic’s fan. He’s 93 now. & has an old photo of him & iggy when they met somewhere in California during the 70’s. Right before “I’m bored” came out. He’s showed me a lot about “the doors” “Janis Joplin” “the creation” “Grateful Dead” etc. list goes on & on. I thank god he gave me his old music collection

[@mcallister55]

Fantastic job. I was lucky enough to see The Stooges 4 times in Chicago in the late sixties and early seventies.. The first show we saw the The Stooges was the Chicago Pop Festival 12/29/69 at the Aragon Ballroom. I was 14 and had no idea who The Stooges were except hearing their name on the radio for shows they were performing in the Midwest. The name was very intriguing not sure what to expect. At some point during the show (we were about 30 rows back) we thought Iggy had fallen off the stage, we didn't find out till a couple days later when the Chicago Tribune did a write up on the festival that he had actually jumped into the crowd, Magical times for sure.

[@brendangeraghty8865]

I can't relate to people who don't love The Stooges. Great tour, man, thanks!

[@MechoulamSergio]

You should do a video on the Stooges house in Hollywood Hills! And maybe include Tropicana Motel in the video!

[@heatherr2665]

Awesome vlog! Funny thing...my aunt had Iggy's dad as a teacher at Fordson High School in Dearborn. She said he looked just like Iggy looks now lol. She said he was one of her favorite teachers because he made learning fun.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thats awesome

[@romie1967]

Thanks for showing one of my favorite local towns. Love A^2! I have been to Pioneer once - for work. Been by the big house and downtown more times than I can count. Wonderful times in Ann Arbor. Great vid!!!!

[@tinkangelz3305]

This was an awsome video! This is my home town ( I'm still here ). The "trailer park" Iggy grew up in, my grandparents lived there also.The park was in the stix as we we use to call it back when he was there. Not much was in that area but woods. Just like his old house where you said he filmed a video with his GF at the time. You did great research for this. I liked that you put an old picture of Discount records from back in the day. I use to hang out at that same store Iggy did. He was already a local legend by that time. (70's ). My Aunt who worked at the U of M knew Iggy. She said he was crazy! She's 7 years older than him. Also did not know he got a full scholar ship to go there. That's impressive. Anyway great to see you came to my town. Hope you are okay after eating WC. That location does not have the best reviews, myself included!! P.S. I watch you because you are very detailed in your video's. Keep up the great work! 🌹

[@suemick8709]

Great vlog Jordan! Apart from the amount of research you do to present great commentary I also really like the drive by neighborhood scenes, it really gives me a feel for where things happened . Also love your Grandpa!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you

[@mattmartin123]

this was a 'real cool time', thanks!

[@jrich753]

I watch a lot of your vids great stuff !!! Your a one of a kind

[@dhit6277]

Wow Jordan, this may be your best vlog. Loved it! Great job! Thanks!!!!

[@annemorgan3894]

I live in Ann Arbor before moving to Georgia. Awesome video! Now I'm homesick!

[@drbriansutcliffe]

Great job, keep these interesting videos coming. Best to you for the Holiday season

[@relicman]

You always keep great videos coming our way! I love the scene from " Coffee and Cigarettes", where Iggy and Tom Waits are sitting and talking in a Diner.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Great movie! I love almost all the Jarmusch movies

[@mrDCunningham]

Great info. I didn't know any of this. I sure learn a lot watching your vlogs👍

[@scottieburnett5606]

Your Papaw is my kind of cook with the mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, and pork! I really enjoy the bios you present. I especially love the spontaneity as when you asked the guy, working on a car in the trailer community, where Iggy grew up.

[@MamaJedi]

Hi Jordan, I recently subscribed to your channel and I love it. I have always been a fan of old Hollywood and loved watching the old movies with my Grandma. She's gone now, but she would have loved your channel too! We were very close much like you and your Grandpa. Cherish all the time you get to spend with him. I miss my Grandma every day.

[@mimipetrova122]

Great vlog! I am so impressed by your knowledge. How do you manage to find all that information you talk about in your vlogs?

[@martinbeneteau309]

Great vlog today, very informative. It's been a long time since I've been to Ann Arbor. Did you happen to go by the large rock that the students always paint? You know when you were talking about the guys in the trailer park I thought for sure you were going to say that they were lion hearts! Still loving your Ohio trip. Take care

[@katherinejohnson7179]

Thanks again for a great vlog. Can't wait until i get to see grandpa again. He's adorable.

[@dorriegibson8074]

I just got off the phone with my dad, who attended Ann Arbor High School during the same time as Iggy Pop!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

That's awesome!

[@Speedy9yo]

This was great! Iggy starting from a humble beginning is such an inspiration. I always enjoy an origin story because they are always so interesting. I’m curious for tomorrow’s vlog...

[@beckyleisure]

Congrats 🎉🎊🍾 on 34 k awesomeness!

[@binky2596]

Great series of vlogs. So sweet seeing Jah in your PaPaw's lap. Belinda

[@davidellis5141]

Iggy did all the things a five foot one man could do. He wished life could be Swedish Magazines. Hedonistic 24 - 7. Still 🎸 today. A legend.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Totally agree

[@michelleeaton7955]

I love, love, love Iggy and the Stooges, wow!!!! This was great, thanks so much for sharing.

[@darylturcott]

Don't know his music at all, but I do know that the Stooges band was very active and hard working in SE Michigan in mid to late 60s. Their name along with MC5, and Bob Seger came up frequently in my research for abandoned & lost concert venues in Michigan.

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

Great vlog Jordan is it freezing in Deriot?

[@thetopvlogers]

Great Vlog Thanks For Sharing

[@Free2choose]

Awesome video and great details as usual. People dont realize how extremely intelligent he is. I used to hang out with him in 73-74 in LA. during his down and out period.

[@TSquadRVing]

Nice work Jordan once again.

[@mitziconway5346]

Wow and interesting vlog today I sure learned somethings today from your vlog about Iggy. Thanks for Sharing This Jordan!!

[@RawOlympia]

so cool! thnx so much ~

[@janadeubner9883]

That was a fun vlog! I had no idea where Iggy was from and did not realize he was a what we call a "Michigander"! He has certainly led an interesting life after living in a college town! Thanks Jordan!

[@lynnepaveling6150]

Thanks for this Jordan. I became interested in Iggy Pop this year, when I heard Gardenia on the radio for the first time, and looked him up. This prompted me to buy the Post Pop Depression cd, which I like a lot. Love his interviews and energy. Need to check out The Stooges now because of your Vlog 😀...learning new stuff all the time 👍.

[@boj8612]

Down on The Street, one of my favs! Thanks for yet another informative vlog. Luv your G’pa. He reminds me of my Daddy so much. Hugs to Jah!! 💗

[@Ashley-kd2su]

Great vlog. I've never tried a fish slider from WC either

[@ustheserfs]

Brilliant how white castle was brought into the story, like by some grand design.

[@rrrobeltnest7295]

grandpas dish sounds good. interesting facts about iggy and the stooges thanks.

[@cindyhenning7832]

Thanks Jordan for showing the arepas of the Stooges! You go over and above to get the info and the places to show us hard worker thank you

[@jan6626]

Great vlog! Miss White Castle....you can buy the store ones around here in Minnesota, but they just aren't the same as buying in on site store!

[@ross4143]

As a D towner, for me, it was the Stooges, Gordy Howe, the MC5, Kenny Burrell, Mitch Ryder. Cheers from SpoCanada.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Loved this vlog. My favourite Iggy Pop record was 'Lust for Life', I can't stop singing it in my head now! Oh, how it takes me back to my younger days. Nice to see Jah chilling out with your Papaw. Can't wait for tomorrow's vlog. Great vlog Jordan.

[@ralphalessandra2604]

Jordan, you and your Grandpa are so close. What a lovely man. I'm sure he's sad to see you and little Jah leave. Maybe get him a little Jah of his own. Safe travels Jordan and Jah.

[@saramcallaster81]

Amazing, like USUAL!!!... thanks Jordan 😎😎😎😎😊😊😊...

[@karenslater9869]

Another Great Video! 😀

[@beckyleisure]

Awe pa 🦁 looked so sad to see you leave my ❤️ broke a little! Awesome vlog safe travels!

[@mystree1937]

It is COOL... doesn't matter where people come from. GREAT Upload ! Iggy and the Stooge's origin. Thanks Jordan !

[@lazyrrr2411]

... waited & waited for The Stooges to hit the stage , one fine night at Detroits East-town Theater - - - word went round that they'd been in some kind of accident ~ Iggy finally came out , pure Silver from the waist up ! A Roadie tried desperately to play the drums ... It was a jolly great disaster ! YET one of those forgotten, "golden moments" in Rock & Roll

[@timetogodoug]

Thanks Jordan, have a great day!

[@themiccrazy]

Love Iggy Pop! Lust for Life always makes me happy. Another awesome blog.

[@advlandvideo]

Great video. This should inspire trailer parks kids. You rock at biography and history videos.

[@beckyleisure]

I was thinking I’ve never heard of Iggy Pop till I look him up! Definitely knew some of his songs just didn’t recognize the name thanks Jordan!

[@maryjaneblahnik5884]

Thanks for sharing

[@Michiganderman71]

[@boitoiful]

[@go-goakins1489]

Great blog!👍😎

[@sarakeith5480]

Pretty cool Jordan!! Thanks!! Of course I always have to see your Jah!! He makes my day!!

[@WestfallWorx]

Gimme Danger = One of my favorite songs. Great to see this episode. Thanxx!

[@davidallen346]

That's amazing I remember Iggy Pop did mention about growing up in a trailer park, I can say he's the godfather of Punk Rock music.

[@57Banjoman]

Well done!

[@kimlanoue2033]

So cool Jordan. Should have kept going North on I 94 to 8 mile Road. I’m from Michigan. BTW Used to eat White Castle when I was a kid! Love all your videos!

[@avalondreaming1433]

I want to do this in my hometown, Dallas, for Stevie Ray Vaughan. His childhood home was recently for sale for $150,000. A little 2 bedroom one bath place. Could you please advise on what equipment you use, and the cost if you don't mind?

[@AH-ew6ei]

Have to love Originality! Iggy and The Stooges had it.....

[@timmillan6701]

I can only imagine life in those houses, in those times. Great background here. I will never forget the first time I heard this music - it scared me

[@thetruffleshuffle42]

Iggy pop was born in Muskegon Mi on the other side of the state

[@gisnotcool1560]

I was there, back in the day, with Iggy and the Ashetons, there were a few fallacies in this vlog , on the whole though pretty good.

[@debbieclark7031]

Thank you so much for this great vlog. I'm a huge Iggy Pop fan ! So it was awesome to see all the sites, and to hear all the great stories. I had the privilege of seeing him perform in "98 it was a blast. Can't wait to see tomorrow's vlog. The suspense is intreaging.

[@Treeann78]

I love white castle hamburgers. One of my favorites when I was Kid

[@Latexlaila]

You failed to mention that he stuffed a drum kit inside one of those cramped trailers. Imagine the sound

[@Latexlaila]

Couldn’t do blues because it was the nigroids music

[@trevorrandom]

Super lucky to actually find White Castle... ☺

[@MinkWeasel]

Iggy was born in a trailer park in Muskegon Michigan. This guy makes it sound like it was in Ann Arbor.

[@catlady7078]

you look just like your grandfather, your awesome... thanks

[@klee8960]

Interesting video, didn't know much about Iggy although I am from Michigan

[@princessskate8016]

Hi Jordan and Jah, Grandma looked sad to see you leaving. I felt so bad for him. I hope you are going back home to see him on Christmas. Safe travels, Jordan and Jah!

[@dollofvoodoo]

From Illinois, Sliders are no big deal for us. LOL

[@larrocovarry9027]

2023 !!! On tour !!! Stage dives at 75!!!

[@elderlypoodle9181]

Thank you for that! I've always thought Iggy was a very intelligent person. You explained a lot.

[@suepoch3931]

I’m a Iggy POP fan, Live in the burbs of Detroit originally from Cleveland area and you had more of the good spots here in my area than I do thanks for sharing awesome awesome

[@feralLove]

Iggy Pop"s a BEAST!! He could give someone half his age a run for their money!! Still touring too!! He's got the coolest rock n roll name of all time!

[@lauriealexander5857]

Awesome!!! Thank you!!! Compliments all around!!!❤❤❤

[@donnicholas7552]

I love The Stooges! (Three and Iggy Pop)

[@debbiecrothers416]

Thank you from a fellow michigander. ✌👍

[@rickdrais9737]

One of the most interesting things about those first Stooges albums was the combination of proto-punk aggression and rawness and an almost psychedelic feel, kind of like early Alice Cooper. But of all his work, my favorite Iggy song will probably always be “Lust For Life”…

[@_CoolHandLuke_]

Great vlog brother! HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON!

[@crush41gb]

Another Great One, Kind Sir! I first saw Iggy in "Cry Baby" and thought he was cool then got into his music and being an all around cool cat! Tony loved him, too. ;)

[@Dman1998]

What’s the intro song?

[@sixbladeknife44]

The Stooges/Iggy are legends, but the guy that sounded wayyyy more like Howlin’ Wolf was Captain Beefheart!

[@williamzoom]

Iggy is definitely an original, I saw him at the HFStival in 93!

[@jeffkidd7409]

Glad your papaw made you the Sauerkrat. What a great guy! Never heard of this band til today. That's why we love Daze. Always learning something new. Thanks Jordan.

[@jackiebratcher2997]

Did Not Know This Group, But, Very Interesting !.. Always Love Seeing Jah!!!!.. Thank You!!!

[@earworm]

Ha people still get their roofs tore off going under the washington street railroad bridge. Especially during student move out.

[@thomasmargolis3313]

welcome back.

[@mariaday712]

Grate vlog. Lots of good info on Iggy pop. I didn't know anything about him before your vlog. I'm sure Jah had a lot of good times with Grandpa when they were together. I'm glad your brother is coming out to California with you and Jah. You've got my curious what tomorrow's vlog is going to be about. I'm not going to ask. Thanks for all the great vlogs you make for us all.

[@shirlee5312]

Anyone who can go from Iggy Pop to Oscar Wilde with Gram Parsons in between is a true hero of mine!
