Summary

Rapper, producer and actor Andre Benjamin and singer Iggy Pop, on this edition of Fresh Air. Benjamin is also known as Andre 3000. He is half of the Grammy-winning hip-hop duo Outkast, best known for their hit single "Hey Ya!" from the double album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. His newest project is an animated series for the Cartoon Network called Class of 3000. Benjamin stars as the voice of Sunny Bridges. Benjamin s films include Idlewild, Four Brothers and Be Cool.(Original Airdate: 10/23/06) Then, Iggy Pop, who was punk before punk existed. His career began in the late 1960s when he was the frontman for the band The Stooges. He then went solo. Pop was born James Jewell Osterburg, Jr., but took the name Iggy while in a high school band. The Stooges put out two influential albums that were not great sellers, and the band eventually broke up when heavy drug use got in the way of performing. David Bowie was a big fan of Iggy Pop, and continued to offer support despite Pop's heroin addiction. Pop kicked the habit in the 80s. He has influenced countless rock, pop, heavy metal and garage bands. His albums include Fun House, Raw Power, Sister Midnight and Avenue B. His work was collected in last year's CD A Million in Prizes: The Iggy Pop Anthology.(Original Airdate: 7/14/05) [Broadcast Date: December 29, 2006]
