Reading an Iggy Pop interview in Penthouse, I had to laugh at what he called the year I just turned, 33--the "Christ stage."
"[If you get] past 33 in one piece . . . you become tender. You will be tenderized physically, emotionally. Your nervous system, your consciousness, your stamina--everything is touchier. You're not as sturdy a tower as you once were. You have to build that back up before you try any fancy shit."
Now that's funny shit.
He considers 65 the age one becomes O-L-D.
The kicker is what he thinks of Neil Young's line about being better to burn out or fade away:
"Oh, I think it's best to just sneak out with as much shit that you can carry!"
Amen.
