I Wanna Be Your Material Dog?

From rollingstone.com:

“According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Iggy & The Stooges will perform for Madonna at this year’s induction ceremony. The choice of the Stooges may raise some eyebrows, but isn’t as strange as it seems: both the band and Madonna are Detroit natives, and Iggy Pop opened for Madonna at the Dublin date for her Reinvention Tour in 2004.”

You know who is going to be really stoked about this? Stooges bassist Mike Watt. First, he becomes a member of his favorite band ever. Now, he gets to play with said band as they represent his favorite diva ever. And whoever thought one of the Minutemen would get to the Hall of Fame? Dude is living the dream, and all he had to do was spend 20-something years living out of an Econoline van.

I couldn’t find any clips of Watt and one of his 200 bands performing Madonna songs on YouTube, though I swear there used to be some. So, enjoy Watt covering Wire instead.
