...Iggy was in the Stooges--before they became VH-1 "Behind the Music" material--the Stooges meant something. Sure they were a buncha high school drop-out glue-sniffing losers who made a hellacious garage noise with instruments they could barely play, but they had something to say. Basically: "screw you, I am human and alive and can hurt myself more than you can ever hurt me so do what you want." Which is pretty much which most great art says, if you think about it.

...course, being spontaneous requires careful preparation. When Bush tells reporters that there is still time to "screw it up," is it a rare moment of self-doubt or mere spin to lower expectations? I suspect the latter. John McCain's I-tell-it-like-it-is demeanor is compelling, but Senate colleagues think he's hiding his red-faced temper.
