Iggy Pop: Open Up and Bleed"Fellow rock stars, casual members of the public, lords and media magnates, countless thousands of people will talk of their encounters with this driven, talented, indomitable creature, a man who has plumbed the depths of depravity, yet emerged with an indisputable nobility. Each of them will share an admiration and appreciation of the contradictions and ironies of his incredible life. Even so, they are unlikely to fully comprehend both the heights
"Fellow rock stars, casual members of the public, lords and media magnates, countless thousands of people will talk of their encounters with this driven, talented, indomitable creature, a man who has plumbed the depths of depravity, yet emerged with an indisputable nobility. Each of them will share an admiration and appreciation of the contradictions and ironies of his incredible life. Even so, they are unlikely to fully comprehend both the heights and the depths of his experience, for the extremes are simply beyond the realms of most people's understanding." --from the Prologue The first full biography of one of rock 'n' roll's greatest pioneers and legendary wild men Born James Newell Osterberg Jr., Iggy Pop transcended life in Ypsilanti, Michigan, to become a member of the punk band the Stooges, thereby earning the nickname "the Godfather of Punk." He is one of the most riveting and reckless performers in music history, with a commitment to his art that is perilously total. But his personal life was often a shambles, as he struggled with drug addiction, mental illness, and the ever-problematic question of commercial success in the music world. That he is even alive today, let alone performing with undiminished energy, is a wonder. The musical genres of punk, glam, and New Wave were all anticipated and profoundly influenced by his work. Paul Trynka, former editor of Mojo magazine, has spent much time with Iggy's childhood friends, lovers, and fellow musicians, gaining a profound understanding of the particular artistic culture of Ann Arbor, where Iggy and the Stooges were formed in the mid to late sixties. Trynka has conducted over 250 interviews, has traveled to Michigan, New York, California, London, and Berlin, and, in the course of the last decade or so at Mojo, has spoken to dozens of musicians who count Iggy as an influence. This has allowed him to depict, via real-life stories from members of bands like New Order and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iggy's huge influence on the music scene of the '70s, '80s, and '90s, as well as to portray in unprecedented detail Iggy's relationship with his enigmatic friend and mentor David Bowie. Trynka has also interviewed Iggy Pop himself at his home in Miami for this book. What emerges is a fascinating psychological study of a Jekyll/Hyde personality: the quietly charismatic, thoughtful, well-read Jim Osterberg hitched to the banshee creation and alter ego that is Iggy Pop. Iggy Pop: Open Up and Bleed is a truly definitive work--not just about Iggy Pop's life and music but also about the death of the hippie dream, the influence of drugs on human creativity, the nature of comradeship, and the depredations of fame.Binding Type: Paperback

Excellent Power Strip for Convenient Charging Options
I recently purchased the HOPOW Flat Plug Power Strip for my son's desk, and it has been an excellent addition to his workspace. This power strip offers a range of convenient features that have greatly impressed me.
First and foremost, the inclusion of USB A and USB C charging options is a game-changer. It's incredibly convenient to have both options readily accessible on the top of the power strip rather than tucked away on the side. This design choice ensures easy and quick charging for various devices without any hassle.
One aspect that sets this power strip apart is the individual switches with LEDs for each plug. These switches provide an added level of control, allowing me to turn off specific devices when not in use without affecting others. The LEDs also serve as handy indicators, making it easy to identify which devices are powered on at a glance.
In terms of build quality, the HOPOW Flat Plug Power Strip has truly impressed me. It feels solid and durable, giving me confidence that it will withstand regular use. The flat plug design is a clever addition, as it allows the power strip to sit flush against the wall, saving valuable space on my son's desk.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase of the HOPOW Flat Plug Power Strip. Its convenient USB charging options, easily accessible plugs, individual switches with LEDs, and impressive build quality have made it an invaluable asset for my son's desk. I highly recommend this power strip to anyone in need of a reliable and user-friendly charging solution.

switched each outlet extension cord
This is a great extension cord. The plug is flat to the wall and offset so you can use 2 plugs together in one double wall outlet. The extension cord has a switch for each outlet to turn on or off each outlet. You can control all your lights and fans from one place, also has USB-C = 2each and USB-A = 2each. Cord is extra long to find a wall outlet, colored white to blend in.

Great Power Strip to save energy.
I bought this power strip for my coffee maker, frothier, and water purification system. All of these items are never in use all day long and pull electricity if remained plugged in. Which means they cost me money when not in use. This power strip makes it energy efficient to have appliances plugged in and ready to use while saving on energy costs. I used my label maker to identify which switch was which. I plugged in the appliances to the power strip and shut off all the switches. And it works great. When I want to turn on the coffee machine I flip the switch that says Coffee Machine and know that I am only turning on that one appliance not all. That is the problem with most power strips. You have a master switch that turns them all on. This power strip turns one on at a time. Or you can turn all on by flipping each switch or two on at the same time. You are in control. I liked it so much that I bought two more. One for the kitchen appliances (Foodsaver, hot water kettle, etc.) and one for the home office. Can turn on shredder, and other computer devices as I need to.

Does the job
Size: 10 Ft (Type B with Clamp), Color: White
I think the clamp could be some show shorter, but the product looks nice and minimalistic and works perfectly.
