Incongruous
This is Iggy Pop
Did you know that Iggy Pop was published in a peer reviewed journal?
Not kidding.
He reviewed Edward Gibbon’s The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
I always knew that Pop was “eclectic”, but this is WAY more eclectic that I could possibly imagined.
Equally surprising is that when I did a Google search for peer reviewed articles published by Flaming Lips front-man Wayne Coyne, there is nothing.
In fact, I did a rather extensive series of searches, and could find no other Rock and Roller with a peer reviewed article.
Go figure.
