Iggy And Crew Shine Some Kinda Light On Madonna At The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame


Yeah guys, I mean...not like I was expecting some kinda "L.A. Blues" blowout as a big raspberry in the face of the HOF and I love both Ig and "Ray Of Light" but... Maybe "Burnin' Up" was better? Madonna's blatant disinterest in whatever's going around her is still kinda disarming? God bless Mike Watt for making the same infectiously goofy-ass faces after plunkin' away for 30 years?

Here's an entire Mike Watt show from '95 with a pickup band made up of three members of the Foo Fighters (including one D. Grohl) and some guy named Vedder, running through a set of Watt originals, the expected Minutemen and fIREHOSE tunes, and a handful of covers. And Mike Watt and Eddie Vedder sincerely jamming (econo) on Erotica-era Madonna is possibly the most "1995" thing I can think of right now. [Berkeley Place]
